What does "system" mean in this context?  You said you have already done it
on several machines, so the "system" you are talking about seems be larger
than a single machine.  This sound less like a Perl question and more
like a question for your system administrator.  How do they roll out
new/upgraded tools to all the machines under their control?  Do they have
one shared NSF drive or something?

run:
perl -le 'print "@INC"'

And see if any of those directories look like good places to install it.

Seems like everything is fine with this package, despite the
ominous warning. Something with release 1.04 has obviously
triggered the warning. Maybe either the mentioned co-maintainer
problem or the filtering on CPAN (it has been tweaked a bit
recently to better catch issues such as someone uploading into a
namespace like "Perl" itself, after some confusion with Gerard
Goosen's "kurila" fork).

Maybe you could drop the author a line and make him aware of the
warning.

That's a particular solution to a bit of nastiness one of the CPAN
developers tried to get away with recently.

An "Unauthorixed Release" is one by someone not registered to upload to
that namespace. Since anyone can upload anything to CPAN, people can
try to overwrite the work of other people. CPAN is a bit smarter than
that, though, and tracks who's the authoritative source for each
package.

I can't comment on why you saw that tag because you didn't mention
which module it applied to, but sometimes this merely means that there
is a problem with the co-maintainer permissions.

Thank you for all the interesting background on this topic,
and for checking out the Perl::Critic package.

I have installed the package and it seems to work fine for me too.

use DateTime;
use DateTime::Format::Strptime;

my $date = new DateTime::Format::Strptime (
        pattern => '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S' );
my $ouput = $date->mdy('/');

As a general rule, whenever you're doing any sort of date
manipulation, you save yourself time in the long run by using date and
time modules.

You just change where the scripts in blib/bin install, or you make a
new directory in blib for just the CGI scripts, and tell the Makefile
how to install those (probably by adding a new make target).

It's all in the ExtUtils::MakeMaker docs.

Good luck :)

Please define "not work correctly."  Do you get Perl errors?  Do you
get errors from $mech->response?

It's hard to help you fix a problem when we don't know what the
problem is.

That is a phenomenally unhelpful error description.  How does it not
work?  What results do you see?  How do those results contradict the
desired results?  Are you getting syntax errors?  Runtime errors?
What are the error messages?  Incorrect output?  No output?  Crash?
Freeze?  Infinite loop?

Put more care into your post, and you're more likely to get a helpful
response.

I am running a find command and the o/p i am saving in a file. The
content of the file is as bellow.

/opt/home/121/UnixAgent/bin/agent_uninstall
/opt/var/122/UnixAgent/bin/agent_uninstall
/opt/home/123/UnixAgent/bin/agent_uninstall

cannot open /proc/19355: No such file or directory
cannot open /proc/19342: No such file or directory
/opt/home/124/UnixAgent/bin/agent_uninstall

I need to run all agent_uninstall scripts like this.

system ("/opt/home/121/UnixAgent/bin/agent_uninstall");

when I will run this script I will get two interactive prompts where I
need to give two inputs

one is "/opt/home/121"

and the otherone is "y"

so I will have to extract all these /opt/home/121, /opt/home/124, /opt/
var/122 and give as input
after running the uninstall script.


How to do the user interactive prompt automated using perl.
And how to save all the /opt/home/121, /opt/home/124, /opt/var/122 in
a array and give then as input.

I don't see anything named "polling" here, but admittedly I don't know
much about host/node configurations...

Regardless, here's an example you could study and hopefully modify for
your own needs...
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;

my @nodes;
#Change the input record separator so that the
#readline operator reads newline-separated records
local $/ = "";
while (my $record = <DATA>){
    chomp $record;
    my %node;
    #find and store each of the pieces of info we care about
    for my $key (qw/on_off address group/) {
        ($node{$key}) = ($record =~ /$key (.*)/);
    }
    #store the entire record, to be printed later
    $node{record} = $record;
    #add this node to our list.
    push @nodes, \%node;
}

#obtain a list of sorted nodes,
#going by group, address, and on_off
my @sorted_nodes = sort {
    $a->{group}   cmp $b->{group}   or
    $a->{address} cmp $b->{address} or
    $a->{on_off}  cmp $b->{on_off}
} @nodes;

#print out each node's record
for my $node_ref (@sorted_nodes) {
    print $node_ref->{record} . "\n\n";
}
__END__


One obvious thing you're going to want to change is the way the
addresses are sorted.  The above does a simple ASCIIbetical
comparison.  Which means, from your example, 10.7.255.144 comes before
10.7.255.15.  If that's not what you want, do some manual parsing on
those values and sort them better...


Hope this helps,
Paul Lalli

Message-Id: <1180040632.173693.27110@r19g2000prf.googlegroups.com>

I have searched all over CPAN and all over the internet to try to find
the tar.gz files for these 3 modules:

Exporter
LWP::Agent
HTTP::Request

I found each module on CPAN, but the link to the tar.gz file contained
a bunch of other modules that I don't need.  I was hoping to find the
tar.gz files for each of these modules so that I could install them
each individually.  I'm trying to install them on a Sun Solaris box
that can't use the "perl -MCPAN" command to install them.  So I need
the tar.gz files so that I can unzip and then install the modules by
using the "perl Makefile.PL" command.  If anyone can please help I'm
sure this would be helpful to a lot of other people as well.

Thanks,
Erik

Exporter comes with perl, so it should be there.

LWP::Agent and HTTP::Request come with the libwww-perl, but you'll
need to do a little dependency chasing if you have to install it
manually. (It'd be much easier to let the CPAN module do it for you
if you can.)

Did something happen to corrupt your Perl library?

Are you sure?

Do you realise that when modules are dictributed together that's often
because they are closely interdependant? I would not recommend trying
to install only part of libwww unless you _really_ know what you are
doing. And since you appear to think it would make sense to attempt to
install, for example, HTTP::Request without installing its base class
HTTP::Message I suspect you don't.

Exporter is a standard module, so on the one hand, the tar.gz file
containing it is the whole of the standard Perl distribution (which is
huge), but on the other hand if you have Perl installed you already
have Exporter.

Does Solaris run on mobile phones these days? What sort of device is
is that you have where a few 100kb is an issue?

You are saying CPAN.pm fails on Solaris?

Exporter is now a core module, so you need to upgrade your Perl in order
to get the latest version.  (I suppose you could download the tarball
and try to build it alone.  But it's been part of the core for some
time, so if you don't have it you must have a very old Perl.)

LWP::UserAgent and HTTP::Request are part of the libwww bundle.  You
might as well install the whole thing, since there are quite a few
dependencies.  I'd suggest installing Bundle::LWP, since that bundle
has modules you might want/need later on.  It would be unwise to install
LWP::UserAgent, for example, without the other libwww modules.
