I tried to run a program and I get an error about a perl module.<\/p>\n
What do I do?<\/p>\n
There are myriads of perl modules available that do all sorts of tasks from connections to databases to determining the size of a dataset. For example, when running program on Monsoon, you may see the following error:<\/p>\n
Can't locate Devel\/Size.pm in @INC \r\n(you may need to install the Devel::Size module)<\/pre>\nNotice that the error output shows that you may need to install Devel::Size. This is a perl module which may be installed locally in your account through a program called cpan. If my account name is ricky, I can enter cpan at the command prompt and I should see:<\/p>\n
\r\n[ricky@wind ~ ]$ cpan\r\nLoading internal null logger. Install Log::Log4perl \r\nfor logging messages\r\nTerminal does not support AddHistory.\r\n\r\ncpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules \r\ninstallation (v2.18)\r\nEnter 'h' for help.\r\n\r\ncpan[1]> \r\n<\/pre>\nI am now in the cpan shell and may install perl modules at this point. To do that I will use the install command to install the module that I am missing:<\/p>\n
\r\ncpan[1]> install Devel::Size\r\n<\/pre>\nIf everything installs correctly you should see the following when it finishes:<\/p>\n
\r\n \/usr\/bin\/make install -- OK\r\n<\/pre>\nAnd be returned to a cpan prompt. At this point you may enter quit to return back to your normal shell prompt.<\/p>\n
If you run into any errors on the cpan install you will need to send an email to hpcsupport@nau.edu and please copy and paste the errors into the email. Please include a note as to what perl module you are trying to install.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
