Why does my Perl program complain “Can't locate URI.pm in @INC”?

Question

I\'m new to Perl. I get the following error when I run a script:

Can\'t locate URI.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/packages/perl_remote/5.6.1/lib/5.6.1/i86pc         


        

Answer 1

The array @INC contains the list of places to look for Perl scripts to be evaluated. Your script will not run because it is not in the @INC list. Either:

1. Put the script in one of the @INC locations; or
2. Add the location of the file to the $PATH environmental variable; or
3. Specify the full path of the script when you are calling it.
