Hi all,

I have just installed a fresh copy of mac OS X Server 10.1.3 and I have 
some Perl scripts which I would like to run using a Cron job on this 
machine.

I must confess, that I don't have that much experience yet using Perl, 
but maybe You can help me out here, and I might geet more experience...

When I run my Perl script from the Terminal, I get the following error...

----
Can't locate LWP/Simple.pm in @INC (@INC contains: 
/Applications/4DWebSTAR/WebServer/perle /System/Library/Perl/darwin 
/System/Library/Perl /Library/Perl/darwin /Library/Perl /Library/Perl 
/Network/Library/Perl/darwin /Network/Library/Perl 
/Network/Library/Perl .) at 
/Applications/4DWebSTAR/WebServer/perle/stockpoint.pl line 7.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at 
/Applications/4DWebSTAR/WebServer/perle/stockpoint.pl line 7.
logout

It seem like it can't find the LWP/Simple.pm package, which probably 
isn't installed per default on Mac OS X Server. So what I thought was...

A) Do I need to install a fresh copy of Perl from CPAN ?

B) Do I only need to install the LWP/Simple.pm from CPAN ? If so, how 
can I find it at CPAN ?

This might generate more questions, but I hope You can help me out 
here...

I have already tried to make a fresh install from CPAN using (perl 
-MCPAN -e shell), but I get this error from the Terminal...

Error: Unable to locate installed Perl libraries or Perl source code.

It is recommended that you install perl in a standard location before
building extensions. Some precompiled versions of perl do not contain
these header files, so you cannot build extensions. In such a case,
please build and install your perl from a fresh perl distribution. It
usually solves this kind of problem.
