Lightbulb LWP::Simple Problem !!
Hi All,
I'm having a problem when I run the following code for example

Code:
perl -e 'use LWP::Simple; getprint "http://google.com"'
Can't locate LWP/Simple.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6 /Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.8.6 /Library/Perl /Network/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Network/Library/Perl/5.8.6 /Network/Library/Perl /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.6 /Library/Perl/5.8.1 .) at -e line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.

Whats wrong here ??? I'm new to Unix and Perl so please explain what I can do to resolve this issue ... I'm on OS X 10.4.11

Cheers Smilie

It means what it says: It can't find that module. You don't have it installed, probably.

Tried doing that didnt work ...

I then tried doing

Code:
sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell

and then
Code:
cpan> install Bundle::CPAN

for upgrade

and at one point it stopped and said ....

Code:
 CPAN.pm: Going to build D/DA/DAGOLDEN/Module-Build-0.3800.tar.gz

    -- NOT OK
Running make test
  Can't test without successful make
Running make install
  make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

Recursive dependency detected:
