[SOLVED] How can I install String/Util.pm

angel115 · 01-02-2017, 03:24 PM

Hi there,

How can I install String/Util.pm?

When I run one of my script I've got the following error:

Code:

Can't locate String/Util.pm in @INC (you may need to install the String::Util module)

I've already tried

Code:

cpan install String::Util

Thanks

Read the "Question Guidelines" link in my posting signature. You don't tell us what operating system you're using, what error(s)/message(s) you're getting when you run that cpan command, if you've even installed CPAN, or if you've tried downloading/installing the module from source, using the instructions that come with the tarball. Without details, we can't tell you anything.

I'm rather surprised that this module isn't already there.

If you're dealing with your system-wide configuration, look for a package that you can install (from your distro vendor) to install the package.

On an individual setup, the cpan command is typically used to manage packages.

Hi TBOne,

I've using Linux (Ubuntu Server 16.04) with Perl v5.22.1
The error message I'm getting when I'm starting my script is in my original post.

On another hand the CPAN command end-up successfully, but I'm still getting the error message when I start my script.

Thanks for your help.

I have to appologys as after checking I notice that String::Util was not installed so I run again the installation cpan install String::Util

And I got an error (That I probably get the first time too, but I didn't watch close enough)
Here is the error:

Code:

My mistake I didn't install the build-essential package

so after running

Code:

apt-get install build-essential
cpan install String::Util

Everything is working fine.

Thank you the 2 of you for your help.

Best regards,
Angel.

It might be worth Googling topics such as "Installing Perl in Shared Hosting" to see how these various things can work.

"On the one hand, there are lots of fairly-exotic options available, if you need them."
"On the other hand, 'distro' authors try very hard to keep things easy for you, if you don't."

So it goes . . .

And, for what it's worth ... "very-similar technical issues 'pretty much come with the territory,'" no matter what language you might be dealing with. (In other words, "it's not just Perl ...")
