Can't locate LWP/UserAgent.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /home/mark/Desktop/phpbb.pl line 12.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/mark/Desktop/phpbb.pl line 12.

You're missing required module. Read the script's documentation for required modules and install them.

You can try searching UserAgent.pm and see which module it comes with and check if it's available in repos or CPAN.

My @INC is the same as yours.

On my machine the module is here and looks like this

Code:

$ ls -l /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/LWP/UserAgent.pm 
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 51803 2009-02-13 15:06 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/LWP/UserAgent.pm

If it isn't there on your machine you could try installing the appropriate package.

I *think* LWP is part of perl-libwww-perl so try

Code:

# yum install perl-libwww-perl

I have a script that uses LWP::UserAgent on my machine and it works just fine.

There is a package in the Fedora repository named "perl-LWP-UserAgent-Determined" I DO NOT have that one installed

The best way to find something like that is probably to do

(as root or with root privilege)

yum provides */UserAgent.pm
