For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
problem installing perl modules

----------------example ---------------------------
plankton:>  cd DOWNLOAD_PERL/Filter-1.30
plankton:> /usr/local/perl5/bin/perl  Makefile.PL PREFIX=$HOME/PERL_PKG        
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Error: Unable to locate installed Perl libraries or Perl source code

Maybe I  have to  edit my config.pm
Do you know where is is located ?

Hello Herve.

I don't have time to read through your problem thoroughly but it did remind me of a previous thread:

http://www.wellho.net/cgi-bin/opentalk/YaBB.pl?board=perl;action=display;num=1098395997;start=

Dig deeper into the thread as its gets onto PATH settings and using CPAN as a non root user.

thanks
jfp
