Help!! I'm trying to install the OpenSRS software, and
I'm getting stuck on installing the Perl Modules.
Anyone have some expertise in this area?
My host is Vservers (now owned by HostPro), on a Unix
BSDI virtual server.
I have followed the instructions for non-root permission
servers, found on:
http://www.rcbowen.com/imho/perl/modules.html#perl_Makefi
le_PL_make_make_tes which say:
---
If you do not have root permissions on the machine where
you want to install the module, such as if you wish to
install a module in your home directory, just change one
of those commands. Instead of
perl Makefile.PL
type
perl Makefile.PL
PREFIX=/path/to/where/you/want/it
---
Well, I did that. The path I used
was "/usr/home/netspots/www/cgi-bin/opensrs", as
instructed by Vservers tech support. Unfortunately, I'm
not sure if this worked, as I thought I saw errors fly
by on the screen.
ALSO:
Those instructions also say:
---
That will put all the files in that directory. In order
to use modules that are stored in that location, you
will need to add the following line to your Perl
programs:
use lib /path/to/where/you/want/it
---
What files need to be modified?
And where within these files should this line get added?
Does this stuff look familiar to anyone? Am I even on
the right track to installing this correctly? Can
anyone help?
Signed,
Frustrated and getting desperate! :^)
