The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

How do I install perl modules

Asked by Neville_Chinan in Perl Programming Language

Tags: , ,

Has anyone ever got a perl module to install???
They don't seem to make sense and are contradicting to themseleves.  For example I need to install CPAN so i can do:

perl -MCPAN -e shell
install GO::Parser

1. First of all

[root@localhost CPAN-1.9205]# perl *PL
Importing PAUSE public key into your GnuPG keychain... done!
(You may wish to trust it locally with 'gpg --lsign-key xxxxxx)
WARNING: SIGN is not a known parameter.
Warning: prerequisite Test::Harness 2.62 not found.
Warning: prerequisite Test::More 0 not found.
'SIGN' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name.
Writing Makefile for CPAN

2.  Ok it needs Test::Harness and Test::More

[root@localhost Test-Simple-0.80]# perl *PL
Warning: prerequisite Test::Harness 2.03 not found.
Writing Makefile for Test::Simple

3.  Test::More(test-simple) needs Test::Harness
[root@localhost Test-Harness-3.13]# perl *PL
Can't locate Module/Build.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .) at Build.PL line 2.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Build.PL line 2.

4. Test::Harness needs Module::Build
[root@localhost Module-Build-0.2808]# perl *PL
Checking whether your kit is complete...
Looks good

Checking prerequisites...
 - ERROR: Test::Harness is not installed
 * Optional prerequisite Module::Signature is not installed
 * Optional prerequisite ExtUtils::ParseXS is not installed
 * Optional prerequisite Archive::Tar is not installed
 * Optional prerequisite Pod::Readme is not installed
 * Optional prerequisite ExtUtils::CBuilder is not installed

ERRORS/WARNINGS FOUND IN PREREQUISITES.  You may wish to install the versions
of the modules indicated above before proceeding with this installation

Checking features:
  manpage_support....enabled
  YAML_support.......disabled
    - YAML is not installed
  C_support..........disabled
    - ExtUtils::CBuilder is not installed
    * Optional prerequisite ExtUtils::ParseXS is not installed
  HTML_support.......enabled

Deleting Build
Removed previous script 'Build'

Creating new 'Build' script for 'Module-Build' version '0.2808'

5.  Module::Build needs Test::Harness

6.  How the heck does that work???? could anyone please explain their seems to be an information shortage on this subject matter.  Is there a good and easy way to install perl modules? Thanks
