| Australian Speleological Federation KID: Documentation: Required Perl Modules | ||
This update: 01 October 2006
This document details the Perl modules required by the ASF Karst Index Database. If you install the modules in order, the installs should proceed smoothly as far as module dependencies are concerned.
1. Finding What PERL Modules are Installed and their Versions
2. Downloading and Installing PERL Modules
3. Uninstalling Modules
4. Required Perl Modules and their Versions
5. Notes
To list what modules are installed on a server type: perldoc -t perllocal or look in the site_perl directory which may be either here /usr/local/lib/site_perl or here /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl
PERL modules are downloaded from the standard Comprehensive Perl Archive Network site at
http://www.cpan.org
The Template-Toolkit can be obtained from either CPAN or the Template-Toolkit homepage
at http://www.template-toolkit.org/
The version used here was from CPAN at
http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Template/Template-Toolkit-2.10.tar.gz
The README or the INSTALL file will detail installation and usually list any modules that need to be installed beforehand. Modules should be installed the usual way with:
$ perl Makefile.PL $ make $ make test # make install
Do not use the automated MCPAN installation method. It does not work correctly for some of these modules.
This is an example of uninstalling a module. The Apache-DBILogin-1.6 was installed but not required so here it is removed:
Apache-DBILogin-1.6:# ls Changes DBILogin.pm MANIFEST Makefile Makefile.PL README blib pm_to_blib Apache-DBILogin-1.6:# make uninstall unlink /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Apache/DBILogin.pm unlink /usr/share/man/man3/Apache::DBILogin.3pm unlink /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i586-linux/auto/Apache/DBILogin/.packlist Uninstall is deprecated. Please check the packlist above carefully. There may be errors. Remove the appropriate files manually. Sorry for the inconveniences. Apache-DBILogin-1.6:#
The order in the table below is the order in which they should be installed.
The main modules that are required by the ASF KID are in bold face. Other modules are just required because other modules depend on them. These are in not in bold face and you wil notice that they are listed before the modules they are required for because they need to be installed first. Note however that you may already have some of these modules, for instance DBI is part of most Perl distributions. Don't install a new one unless you have to. The column labelled `Version' lists the version that the KID is currently using. Any later version will probably work.

(RedHat package perl-libwww-5.805-1tr.i586.rpm may be an equivalent.)
The following Perl modules are not required for the ASF KID. I have included a list of them here as their names are similar to Apache::DBI which is required.
