Activestate library

[jr8rdt]

I am using active state 5.10 on linux and the server doesn't have internet access. I can't use ppm to install/add modules.

how can I install CPAN module then? I tried using perl Makefile.PL, make , make install etc but I got whole bunch of errors

how to add modules in @INC?

What sort of errors did you get?

You should be able to download the modules, copy them to the server, extract them and "make" them without much hassle.

I've installed stuff manually before when CPAN had trouble.

I don't know about activestate on linux, but on windows it's darn near impossible to compile your own modules. You have to jump through a ton of hoops. If I was using linux I would just use the normal perl distro and not activestates.

If you don't have internet access, how can you install CPAN modules anway?

I assume he has internet access and access to the server. Just the server doesn't have internet access.
