Need help in installing perl *.pm files
Hi,

I need to install Sys::HostAddr inorder to run the following command:
Code:
perl -le 'use Sys::Hostaddr; print Sys::HostAddr->new->main_ip'

I tried installing this package using CPAN by using the following command:

Code:
$ sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell

cpan> install Sys::HostAddr

But still I am not able to use the command which I intended to. I am getting the same error
Code:
Can't locate Sys/Hostaddr.pm in @INC at -e line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.

Please help me in resolving this problem.

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 32-bit PC. My perl version is v5.8.8.

Perl modules are case sensitive. Change Hostaddr to HostAddr and it should work.
