Question Calling privately installed module from script help please
hello,

i need help calling a privately installed module from a script. my server admin installed perl with the standard modules and simply no extras, including the LWP::Simple mod i need. (side note: ive asked for it to be installed).

in the meantime, i installed it (libwww-perl-5.62.tar.gz) into a privately created directory called 'myperl', using the steps decompress, unpack, build, install. on the 'build' step i entered:

$ perl Makefile.PL LIB=/home/virtual/admin/home/httpd/cgi-bin/myperl PREFIX=/home/virtual/admin/home/httpd/cgi-bin/myperl

everything seemed to work well... all mods are there.

my script (which is in cgi-bin/print directory) reads:

require 5;
use LWP::Simple;

cpan says to use one of the following:

1] foo@barbell$ setenv PERL5LIB /path/to/module sets the environment variable PERL5LIB.

2] use lib qw(/path/to/module); used at the top of your script tells perl where to find your module.

3] foo@barbell$ perl -I/path/to/module

in my script ive typed (one example of many variations ive tried):

require 5;
use LWP::Simple qw(/home/virtual/sbcadmin/home/httpd/cgi-bin/myperl/LWP/Simple.pm);

SIDE NOTE: my server info: Red Hat Linux release 6.0 (Hedwig)
Kernel 2.2.12-20ensim on an i686

is this simply something i cannot do without admin and root privileges or is my syntax incorrect somewhere?

thanks in advance,
sdiva

lwp::protocol::https

LWP::Protocol::https(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				 LWP::Protocol::https(3pm)

NAME

       LWP::Protocol::https - Provide https support for LWP::UserAgent

SYNOPSIS

	 use LWP::UserAgent;

	 $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new(ssl_opts => { verify_hostname => 1 });
	 $res = $ua->get("https://www.example.com");

DESCRIPTION

       The LWP::Protocol::https module provides support for using https schemed URLs with LWP.	This module is a plug-in to the LWP protocol
       handling, so you don't use it directly.	Once the module is installed LWP is able to access sites using HTTP over SSL/TLS.

       If hostname verification is requested by LWP::UserAgent's "ssl_opts", and neither "SSL_ca_file" nor "SSL_ca_path" is set, then
       "SSL_ca_file" is implied to be the one provided by Mozilla::CA.	If the Mozilla::CA module isn't available SSL requests will fail.  Either
       install this module, set up an alternative "SSL_ca_file" or disable hostname verification.

       This module used to be bundled with the libwww-perl, but it was unbundled in v6.02 in order to be able to declare its dependencies properly
       for the CPAN tool-chain.  Applications that need https support can just declare their dependency on LWP::Protocol::https and will no longer
       need to know what underlying modules to install.
