Experts,
I need your help on installing Perl XML Parser.

What is the complete procedure to install XML modules from a build HP machine to another HP machine?

I want to use XML:XPath in my perl script and I learn that I need Expat, XML::Parser, and XML::XPath modules.

I downloaded expat-1.95.7.tar.gz, XML-Parser-2.34.tar.gz, and XML-XPath-1.13.tar.gz. Following the instruction I installed Expat, XML-Parser, and XML-XPath to my build machine.

./site_perl/5.6.1/PA-RISC2.0-11.11-NTM/auto/XML
./site_perl/5.6.1/PA-RISC2.0-11.11-NTM/XML
./site_perl/5.6.1/XML

$ ls libexp*
llibexpat.a       libexpat.sl      libexpat.sl.5.0
libexpat.la      libexpat.sl.5

I noticed that the I could run Perl XML::XPath fine.

But when I copied the modules to my test machine (also HP): all the directories and files mentioned above, plus "/opt/perl5/lib/5.6.1/PA-RISC2.0-11.11-NTM/perllocal.pod" which I believe tells where to find the right Perl module, my test script failed to run.

The errors are:

hput4# /opt/perl5/bin/perl -wc /home/chlai/rje/test.cgi
Can't load '/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.6.1/PA-RISC2.0-11.11-NTM/auto/XML/Parser/Expat/Expat.sl' for module XML::Parser::Expat: No such file or directory at /opt/perl5/lib/5.6.1/PA-RISC2.0-11.11-NTM/DynaLoader.pm line 206.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/chlai/rje/test.cgi line 1.

I checked, the Expat.sl actually IS there!

What did I miss? What else should I do to make the XML Parser work?

Any help is appreciated!

It sounds like you're missing some dependencies.

The easiest thing to do is to use the CPAN module instead of manual installation. Try perl -MCPAN -e shell as root. If it's the first time you've run it, go through the configuration. Then type install XML::XPath, and say yes whenever it asks if it should fetch dependencies. This method is by far the easiest way to install CPAN modules.

Login in as root, I tried "perl -MCPAN -e shell" but failed. How to go through the configuration? Is there any online reference/instruction I can follow?

The the errors I got were:

hput4# perl -MCPAN -e shell
Can't load '/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503/PA-RISC1.1/auto/IO/IO.sl' for module IO: Invalid argument at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503/PA-RISC1.1/DynaLoader.pm line 169.

Thank you very much!
