make install
mkdir /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Proc: Read-only file system at /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 139 make: *** pure_site_install Error 255
I am logged in as root.
I tried to just go to /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1 and make the Proc folder myself and I get the same error about being a Read-Only file system.
any thoughts?
deffinately got a thought.. it's called CPAN - a cli utility that let's you log into it- and install remove, whathaveyou- modules etc.
it's like having a fluffer- or your own automechanic if you're a race car driver.
i know, it doesn't address your error specifically. But.. maybe the install is doign something funny? maybe using cpan will let you install, if not.. then yours is perhaps not a perl problem?
put some energy into getting cpan to work on the shell- who knows.. it might already be on your box! do a locate cpan or just try cpan on your box, then do install themoduleyouwant and hit enter.

Good general purpose suggestion, but it shouldn't make a difference with the OP's problem, which appears not be strictly a Perl one. Indeed if by any chance using CPAN.pm as opposed to installing manually did make a difference, it would be interesting to know why, and that could give a clue as to what's wrong...
Not really a Perl issue, I'd guess your /usr partition is mounted as read-only. The following for Linux (there are differences if you're using a different *NIX): Check /etc/mtab, that will give you the currently mounted partitions with mount options, check whether your /usr is mounted rw or ro. If it's ro and you're sure that there isn't a very good reason why this is the case (I mean sure here btw, like in absolutely SURE), you can issue
mount -oremount,rw /usrThat should fix your problem.
Dogma is stupid.
who's the sysadmin?
some sysadmins of various un*x's only mount /var and /home as rw filesystems, and others that they don't want changed ro, so that at the very least a conscientious decision needs to be made before temporarily remounting a partition rw...

What I am needing to do is run my perl script indefinatly that intercepts emails coming in, so if anyone knows another method to do that other than installing the Proc::Daemon module I am open to that as well.
