After reinstalling the perl interpreter it denies access to users.

[Bytor2000]

Hello All

I have a server that perl got screwed up on. So I reinstalled the rpm and most of my scripts started to work again. Some however did not.

It seems that perl is not allowing users to use certain function of the perl install. As an example a script that uses cgi:carp does not work unless I block out that part of the script with (#) in front of every line that refers to it.

I don't know how to fix this or where I might find the answer except here.

Is the problem a permissions problem? So do I have to assign perl to a group? If so how would I do that?

Thank you for any help given.

do you have the cgi:carp module loaded?

It should be. It says that it is a part of the perl library that I installed and it shows on the package tree.

Okay I have done some more investigating on this and the problem is with CGI::Carp. When I try to install this I get 3 error messages. the script fails with these

t/fast.t
t/function.t
t/request.t

How can I install them?

Did you install the same version of Perl that you were running before? If not, you may have files from two different versions, in which case you should go onto CPAN and download all of your modules for your new version.
