how to install perl modules

Drobo - End of Sale Drobo FS

I am new to perl-drobo and I’m looking for help on how to install modules. I want to use this nifty File::Find::Rule the Llama perl book is describing, but I am failing to install it. See my error attached. So then I go ahead and get ExtUtils and try to make it but I get the same error.

Any thoughts?

perl Makefile.PL

Can’t locate ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /mnt/DroboFS/Shares/DroboApps/perl/lib/perl/5.10.0 /mnt/DroboFS/Shares/DroboApps/perl/share/perl/5.10.0 /mnt/DroboFS/Shares/DroboApps/perl/lib/perl/5.10.0/ /mnt/DroboFS/Shares/DroboApps/perl/share/perl/5.10.0/ /mnt/DroboFS/Shares/DroboApps/perl/share/perl/5.10.0/ /mnt/DroboFS/Shares/DroboApps/perl/share/perl/5.10.0 /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at Makefile.PL line 4.

so I went ahead and download ExtUtils-ModuleMaker from CPAN and try to make it…

Maybe the folder name is for ModuleMaker is wrong?

Try:
“ExtUtils-ModuleMaker”
instead of:
“ExtUtils-ModuleMaker-0.51”

3

So I’ve gone ahead and made two folders;
ExtUtils-ModuleMaker
and
ExtUtils-ModuleMaker-0.51

Neither one will work when I set the directory and #perl Makefile.PL

I’m confused because I have gone through that @INC myself and it is a valid complaint, there is no Folder called ExtUtils in either of the …/perl/lib/perl/5.10.0 or the …perl/share/perl/5.10.0 directories.

For Drobo’s implementation of Perl am I supposed to be editing the makefile.pl?

output follows…

pwd

Then you probably need to download all the files missing for that ExtUtils folder.

Disclaimer: I’m just guessing here, since I have very little experience with perl. I have been trying to cross-compile the latest version (5.14.0), but that is a topic for another thread.
