Context
I'm working in an offline environment, so no CPAN.
My goal is to utilize OAuth.pm
I manually installed Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA.
Problem
Can't locate Crypt/OpenSSL/RSA.pm in #INC (#INC contains: /usr/local/lib64/perl5 .)
#INC is truncated
I can see RSA.pm in /usr/local/lib64/perl5/Crypt/OpenSSL/... so I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this one.
This is after manually running make install
I assume you are trying to run the script OAuth.pl (?).. Then the module OAuth.pm is in the same directory as the script and you need to add the current directory to #INC for the script to see the module:
perl -I. OAuth.pl # I. --> add current directory to #INC
See Doesn't Perl include current directory in #INC by default? for more information.
Note: I tried to run the script but it still failed due to syntax errors. Here is a patch that seems to fix the errors.

I am trying to install one of the Perl module in my server (ubuntu droplet from Digital Ocean). I wanted this module to be installed in /home/vinod/my_test_folder/perl_practice/scripts/lib/ directory which I have already created.
This is specific to one module. I don't want to install it in default path like /usr/bin/perl. I wanted it to be installed in above mentioned path.
Here are the list of commands which I executed to install the Email::Reply perl module.
Downloaded module from metacpan
tar xvfz Email-Reply-1.204.tar.gz
cd Email-Reply-1.204/
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/vinod/my_test_folder/perl_practice/scripts/lib/
su
<password_for_root>
make
make test
make install
When I execute make install command the following output got displayed on terminal screen
Manifying 1 pod document
Installing /home/vinod/my_test_folder/perl_practice/scripts/lib/share/perl/5.26.1/Email/Reply.pm
Installing /home/vinod/my_test_folder/perl_practice/scripts/lib/man/man3/Email::Reply.3pm
Appending installation info to /home/vinod/my_test_folder/perl_practice/scripts/lib//lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.26.1/perllocal.pod
And I could see the module got installed in /home/vinod/my_test_folder/perl_practice/scripts/lib/share/perl/5.26.1/Email/Reply.pm path, which is not right path which I mentioned in PREFIX=.
Strange thing here I wrote one small script which uses Email::Reply module by mentioning module path in shebang line
Code below:
#!/usr/bin/perl -I/home/vinod/my_test_folder/perl_practice/scripts/lib/share/perl/5.26.1/
use EMail::Reply;
print "Hi\n";
still its throws an error

I want this module to be installed in /home/vinod/my_test_folder/perl_practice/scripts/lib/
How to achieve this. Please help me.
This is what local::lib can be used for, and cpanm supports it by default:
$ cpanm -l /home/vinod/my_test_folder/perl_practice/scripts Email::Reply
This will install it to /home/vinod/my_test_folder/perl_practice/scripts/lib/perl5.
Alternatively you can recreate the options local::lib sets for this case, the important one for this case is PERL_MM_OPT.
$ env PERL_MM_OPT='INSTALL_BASE=/home/vinod/my_test_folder/perl_practice/scripts' cpanm Email::Reply
Importantly, note that all of this is case sensitive, you must use Email::Reply;.
As a Perl rookie, I have made a rookie mistake.
I was working on a project that required an HTML parser so I thought I'd install Perl's HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath module, so I dove into cpan and perlbrew without a full understanding of how they work. I created a local library, but would like to return everything back to default. However, I get this error every time I open a terminal window (twice, for some reason):
Can't locate local/lib.pm in #INC (#INC contains:

I've seen the similar StackOverflow question here but I do not have apt-get installed.
How can I reset my machine so that this error no longer appears and it uses the default library?
The local::lib installation instructions tell you to add a line to your .bashrc or .bash_profile. From your error, it looks like the line
eval "$(perl -I$HOME/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib)"
is still present. Look for it and remove it.
For me this meant I had an earlier aborted run of cpan's installation.
fix: remove ~/.cpan and ~/perl5 dirs, and remove anything about them from .bashrc, and do it again...
I am trying to run a .pm program in dzsoft perl editor. but i got this error
Can't locate Moo.pm in #INC (#INC contains: C:\Users\123\Desktop\ C:/Perl64/site/lib C:/Perl64/lib .) at UniNE.pm line 5.
My interpertor is ActivePerl-5.18.2.1802-MSWin32-x64-298023
how can I add moo.pm to lib?
This error means you've got a line that says use Moo; and it can't find it. The first question is - have you installed 'Moo'? If not, then:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
install Moo
This may take a bit of faffing with ActivePerl, so you may want to try and use ppm instead. If you do definitely have it installed, then I would suggest the next port of call is to try and figure out where it ended up - search for Moo.pm in your local filesystem, and compare that against your #INC path. You may find permissions are the root cause, and it's unreadable by your perl user.
I should install Moo module first. Try from cmd-line: cpan Moo
I am trying to replicate what my C#/XPath code does on Linux using Perl. I copied and pasted the code in Example 8-6 in Perl & XML. If I understand right, I should be able to run that Perl code, put this code in terminal
xmlPerl.pl mydatafile.xml "/inventory/category/item/name"
But when I try to run the Perl file, it doesn't work. Here is the error:
[root#Perl ~]# perl xmlPerl.pl

What am I doing wrong? I think it has something to do with the XML and XPath names in the beginning of my code. Do I need to install something to use the XPath framework? I am running on RedHat 5.5.
From perldiag:
Can't locate %s
You said to do (or require, or use) a file that couldn't be found. Perl looks for the file in all the locations mentioned in #INC, unless the file name included the full path to the file. Perhaps you need to set the PERL5LIB or PERL5OPT environment variable to say where the extra library is, or maybe the script needs to add the library name to #INC. Or maybe you just misspelled the name of the file. See require in perlfunc and lib.
You don't have installed XML::XPath module, or Perl not found it. Install module with CPAN:
> cpan XML::XPath
or with package manager:
> apt-get install libxml-xpath-perl
Or if it already installed say where it is with PERL5LIB environment variable:
> PERL5LIB=/path/to/lib perl ...
#INC variable:
BEGIN {
unshift(#INC, '/path/to/lib');
}
or lib pragma:
use lib '/path/to/lib';
That's the standard error that comes from trying to use a module that isn't installed. You should install it.
Ideally use the OS package for it; for example on a debian-derived OS (such as Debian or Ubuntu)
$ apt-get install libxml-xpath-perl
Failing that, you can install it as usual using CPAN
$ cpan XML::XPath
The answer is in the first part of your error:
Can't locate XML/XPath.pm
In Perl, the huge benefit is from using modules, or libraries, that others have written for you and you can reuse. In this case, someone has written a module called XML::XPath (in Perl, the path is delineated by '::') and you just need to install it. The easiest way to install it is via cpan, it's a tool that comes installed with most Perl installations. Just run:
cpan
(you'll be dropped into a different command prompt)
install XML::XPath
This will go out and fetch XML::XPath, unpack it, generate the Makefile, check for dependencies (and install any that are missing), make it, test it, and install it for you. Look here for more information on using CPAN.
I'm trying to add an check_esx3.pl script to my icinga. But trying to execute the script
./check_esx3.pl
Gives me the following error:
Can't locate Nagios/Plugin.pm in #INC (#INC contains: /etc/perl

I've been looking around and googling, but I've not been able to find any solution.
You need to install the Nagios::Plugin Perl module.
When you build the Nagios Plugins package from https://www.nagios-plugins.org, one of the configure options is --enable-perl-modules. It will build the Nagios::Plugin:* modules (since it has several modules included that need them), and install them to your system Perl library directory when you run 'make install' as root.
You can also go directly to the source and install the modules from CPAN, by running the command cpan Nagios::Plugins from the command line, also as root. You could possibly run these as the icinga or nagios user, but there's no guarantee they'll get installed into the proper places unless you've done some work beforehand to define PERL5LIB (which is way out of the scope of this answer) and done a bit of hackery in your startup scripts that define a special PERL5LIB for the icinga/nagios process on startup.
