Shell Programming and Scripting

If the files are present under /usr/lib/Perl5 Perl will use them, however if you haven't permissions to adjust the host's Perl libraries you can set your own with the PERL5LIB environment setting.

Note if you're using Bash ~/.bash_profile should export the setting.

Obviously adding the setting to your profile is insufficient in the current shell and the setting should be exported locally.

If you're running the command from an environment like cron where the profile is not read first you should call the script within a shell script such as

Code:

#!/bin/bash
export PERL5LIB=$PERL5LIB:/home/user1/Perl5/lib
/usr/bin/perl /path/to/mq.prg Queue1 Server1

Hi,

Thanks for all your help so far. I indeed have a bash shell and I ran the above command directly from bash shell that you mentioned after placing the PM files in /home/user1/Perl5/lib. However, it gave the Following error

Code:

 
export PERL5LIB=$PERL5LIB:/home/user1/Perl5/lib /usr/bin/perl /tmp/mq.prg Queue1 Server1
bash: export: `/usr/bin/perl': not a valid identifier
bash: export: `/tmp/mq.prg': not a valid identifier
bash: export: `Queue1': not a valid identifier

Sorry, my fault, you should not have spaces in the library path string, just ":" separators.

I set all the paths. Now im getting following error.

bash-3.2$ perl mq.prg Queue1 Server1
Undefined subroutine &main::MQCONN called at mq.prg line 24.

Hi skirmish,

I've found the full install tarball,
http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-autho...es-1.34.tar.gz
This requires the mq sewrver be installed in order to create the Perl API. Check out the README.

Sorry for the delay in getting back.
