Perl can't locate modules, but they are there!

[timnels]

I know I've done this before. I downloaded and created a bunch of
modules DBI, DBD::Informix, WML::Twig, etc and built them on an AIX 5.3
machine. I then cpio'ed up the files that were added to /usr/opt/perl
and dropped them down on another 5.3 machine (that machine didn't have
cc_r). Now even though the files are there I keep getting...

Can't locate DBI.pm in @INC (@INC contains:

you should run perl -V on that machine and see if the INC contains
those paths.

Not a single one of these files is DBI.pm

It is very specifically DBI.pm that Perl is telling you it can't find.
Your assertion that the "files are there" is false.

you should run perl -V on that machine and see if the INC contains
those paths.

1) Quote context when you compose a reply. Have you seen the posting
guidelines for this group?

2) The error message already very specifically tells the user what
directories are in @INC.

Sorry. Having a real bad day. Cpio didn't contain all the files :-(
