Hello,
We are using your recent update of open source curl for OpenVMS as part
of a utility for automating the download of a data file from a website
using OpenVMS Alpha V8.3. We have a perl script that makes use of curl
that runs on OpenSUSE Linux 11.2 and we wanted to use that script on
OpenVMS Alpha using perl V5.8.6. However, the OpenVMS version of perl
does not come with curl extension for perl and so the the curl extension
module needs to be installed after the installation of perl. We
installed (and successfully tested) the version of curl for OpenVMS that
we installed. But when I attempted to install the curl extension module
for perl by running the supplied Makefile.PL script (downloaded as part
of the WWW::Curl package
<http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/S/SZ/SZBALINT/WWW-Curl-4.11.tar.gz>
from the CPAN web site), I get the following error message:
Can't locate Module/Install/Admin.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/perl_root/lib/VMS_AXP/5_8_6 perl_root:[lib]
perl_root:[lib.site_perl.VMS_AXP] perl_root:[lib.site_perl]
/perl_root/lib/site_perl .) at inc/Module/Install.pm line 160.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Makefile.PL line 4.
%SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHFILE, no such file
The file Admin.pm does not exist anywhere in the perl installation
directory tree and I was not able to find any information about how to
download it or produce it from source. Has anyone else tried to do this
using perl on OpenVMS or do you know anybody who might know something
about this?
Thanks in advance for any wisdom,
Eric
