[Resolved]Perl Module (XML::Xpath)

[Yuuki]

Hi
I'm using Kubuntu Edgy and trying to install some perl module named XML::Xpath.
I used it before and i love it.
But it seems I have some trouble running it on Kubuntu.
I installed it via apt, via cpan, and even manually and I always get :

yuuki@yuuki:~/bao$ perl script.pl
Can't locate XML/Xpath.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at script.pl line 2.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at script.pl line 2.

Line 1 is the usually "!#whereIsPerl" line
Line 2 is the "use XML::Xpath;" line

This script works fine on other linux system.
I checked the path in the error, and the module is there.

yuuki@yuuki:/usr/share/perl5/XML$ ls -l
total 24
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2007-03-18 03:27 XPath
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17113 2003-01-26 20:33 XPath.pm
yuuki@yuuki:/usr/share/perl5/XML$

I dont know why its not working... I tried running the thing with su, changed mod with some devils number... always the same error.

Any Idea?

Re: Perl Module (XML::Xpath)

Maybe you should add /usr/share/perl5/XML to the contents of @INC ... :P

Re: Perl Module (XML::Xpath)

still not working.

Its looking for XML/Xpath.pm in the path defined in @INC. As you can see, the /usr/share/perl5 is in it,
and /usr/share/perl5/XML/Xpath.pm is installed.

I tried to add use lib qw(/usr/share/perl5/XML/Xpath.pm); in my script.
It works but then, i have another error:

yuuki@yuuki:~/bao$ perl script.pl 19-00-00
Can't locate object method "new" via package "XML::XPath" (perhaps you forgot to load "XML::XPath"?) at script.pl line 28.
yuuki@yuuki:~/bao$

This is a XML::Xpath fonction and it acts like i didnt include it


Tried to use another perl module like XML:OM and it work fine. DOM and Xpath are both in the right folder, with the same rights. I really don't understand why perl cant locate Xpath...

Re: Perl Module (XML::Xpath)

May sound silly, but if Python were case-sensitive, referring to "XPath" and "Xpath" alternately, would make me think of a typo ... (?)

Re: Perl Module (XML::Xpath)

sorry i already resolved the problem
and yes, in fact I used older version of Xpath.
the new one is XPath with maj P....

Hate those little stupid errors that drive you crazy
thx for the help
