ANSIColor-1.07 problem with colors in dtterm

[Roman Kaganovich]

Hello,

When I run this script example from Perl Cookbook in - chapter 15.5
==================================================
1 #!/usr/bin/perl -w
2
3
4 use lib qw(~/Perl/Modules/ANSIColor-1.07/blib/lib/Term/ANSIColor.pm);
5
6 use Term::ANSIColor ;
7
8 print color("red"), " Red Text sample\n", color("reset");
9 print "Just simple text\n";
10 print colored("<BLINK> Blinked text </BLINK>", "blink");

==================================================

In Linux (xterm) I got all expected outputs, but in
dtterm of SunOS 5.8 I got:

Can't locate Term/ANSIColor.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
~/Perl/Modules/ANSIColor-1.07/blib/lib/Term/ANSIColor.pm .
/usr/local/tools/tcsh/6.10.00/lib/perl5
/usr/local/toolset/2002Q1/lib/perl5 /usr/local/lib/perl5

at ./colors.pl line 6.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./colors.pl line 6.

Will thankful for answer.
Bye.

That line is wrong. With "use lib" you don't specify the module file,
but additional directories to search for modules. So that should be

use lib qw(~/Perl/Modules/ANSIColor-1.07/blib/lib);

It is also unusual to load a module from the build directory, but
that should work if you want to do it that way.

9 print "Just simple text\n";
10 print colored("<BLINK> Blinked text </BLINK>", "blink");

I suppose the Linux system happens to have Term::ANSIColor installed
elsewhere and the Solaris doesn't.

You just want .../blib/lib, not the whole path down to the module.

Note that if your current directory is (pretty much) anywhere underneath
ANSIColor-1.07 you can simply 'use blib;' which will find the right blib
directory for you.

Can't locate Term/ANSIColor.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
~/Perl/Modules/ANSIColor-1.07/blib/lib/Term/ANSIColor.pm .

Perl's looking for .../blib/lib/Term/ANSIColor.pm/Term/ANSIColor.pm, and
not finding it.
