perl Module error;

I just installed file::copy and whenever I use it it prints out:

Code:

Can't locate File/Ncopy in @INC (@INC contains....
)

I checked the file perllocal.pod and file::copy is in there, so I don' t know what the problem is. I'm using perl 5.8.7.

read the message, do you have File::NCopy?

I checked and that's what the name of the module I installed(sorry typo)

However, the error still comes up. even with adjustments in the program to file::Ncopy;

Did you install via
perl -e shell -MCPAN
as root?
If not, try it. It'll put it where Perl expects it.
Even if you have, try again, see what happens...

Thanks for the help. I tried manually installing it not going through the perl installer- that fixed it.

FYI
use lib DIR;

will search a dir not included in INC.
that will find it.
