I need to run a perl script to gather system information that will be deployed and executed on different unix servers.

Right now I am writing it and testing it, and I’m receiving this error.

Can’t locate XML/DOM.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib64/perl5
/usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl
/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .) at
test.pl line 7. BEGIN failed–compilation aborted at test.pl line 7.

So I am simply using XML::DOM which should be part of Perl but it isn’t for this version on this particular server which is 5.10.1.

Anyways, is there a way I can create and design my script and package modules into it while keeping the .pl extension, which is the requirement for this script?

    If the modules don’t require compiled libraries, you can include them by copying the text out of the module into your .pl file. That’s a horrible hack but it should work.

    Perl modules should contain a package statement that gives them their name. When you get to your main program section you’ll need a package main; statement of your own.
