My best guess is that you've installed Active State's ActivePerl. In that case, look for "Perl Package Manager" in perl's installation directory. Installing modules using perl package manager is a piece of cake. It'll even install dependent modules by itself.
This User Gave Thanks to balajesuri For This Post:
Actually what my problem is, I have written few scripts which I need to provide them to my client.Since client is not aware of modules installations and all, he just wants the modules to be installed with a single click(writing all the commands in a single file to run from windows command line).
Perl is working on his system(from the command line) without activeperl.
So I am planning to give him a batch file which installs all the required modules.
One alternative is to have all the required .pm files in a library directory of your perl project and push the path to array @INC. Once this is done, you can use the required module.
For e.g., to use the Net::SSH module, you need to point perl to the location that contains SSH.pm. Copy SSH.pm in, say "c:\myProject\lib". Now in your perl script, before you use Net::SSH, you have to push (@INC, "c:\myProject\lib").
With this approach your client won't have to install any of the modules. And you must ensure that you have all the dependent modules present in the lib directory.
module installed but not able to execute the perl script
Tons of thanks balajesuri...
one small doubt... based on requirement we write some scripts on UNIX and windows environment.
For one specific requirement I have used spreadsheet::xlsx in windows environment and executed the script successfully. After which I copied the same script to remote unix machine.
What the problem is, while trying to execute the script with spreadsheet::xlsx and DateTime::Format::Excel modules I got the below error messages on unix machine.
Code:
Can't locate DateTime.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .) at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/DateTime/Format/Excel.pm line 13.BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/DateTime/Format/Excel.pm line 13.Can't locate spreadsheet/xlx.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .) at groupD_final.pl line 7.BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at groupD_final.pl line 7.
But our Admin has forwarded the list of modules that are installed on the Unix machine. Surprisingly the above modules were there in the list supplied.
Also attached both the module list taken out by me and admin seperately....
Not sure how to execute the script and how he found the modules list?
I'm not sure if you understood how modules work in perl.
The statement use Spreadsheet::XLSX in perl is crudely similar to java's import com.test.Utilities
Perl -> package::structure::moduleFileName which is similar to
Java -> package.structure.className
The same way as you can find Utilities.class in /path/to/myProj/bin/com/test/Utilities.class; you can find XLSX.pm in /path/to/perl/lib/Spreadsheet/XLSX.pm.
The default paths to search for modules is pre-defined in @INC. If you have XLSX.pm elsewhere, say for e.g., in /home/user/myProj/lib/Spreadsheet/XLSX.pm, you need to tell perl to look in this directory too -> /home/user/myProj/lib.
This can be achieved by push (@INC, "/home/user/myProj/lib"). After which if you say use Spreadsheet::XLSX, you won't see any error.
So when you say use DateTime::Format::Excel, perl is going to look for Excel.pm (DateTime/Format/Excel.pm) inside one of the directories listed in @INC.

I observed two errors in post #5. In your perl code it looks like you gave,
1. use DateTime instead of use DateTime::Format::Excel
2. use spreadsheet::xlx instead of use Spreadsheet::XLSX
Hope this helps.
