Name and version of Perl modules
Is it possible to get the name and version of all installed Perl modules from my ISPs webserver? How can I get this information?

I would also like to find out what modules are installed on HyperMart.net ...or at least in what directory they might possible be installed.

This is the root:
Code:

Those modules are most likely located in an inaccessible directory. Have you contacted your ISP?

Actually they are definately accessible as the web server will need to access them. You can find out where they are by looking at @INC. i.e.:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
foreach $dir (@INC) {
print "LIBRARY: $dir <br>\n";
}

should print out the directories for you.

Also, it's common practice to define a $VERSION variable. So to see the version of DBI, do:

use DBI;
print "VERSION: $DBI::VERSION\n\n";

Cheers,

Alex

Alex,

When I executed your script, this was the output:
Code:
LIBRARY: /usr/libdata/perl
LIBRARY: /usr/libdata/perl/include
LIBRARY: .
I looked into these directories, but couldn't find any modules there.

I also found out that Hypermart has problems with CGI.pm module (or may be it's not installed?). Here're the errors:
Code:
syntax error in file /data1/hypermart.net/pg13/cgi-bin/pod.cgi at line 90, next 2 tokens "use CGI"
syntax error in file /data1/hypermart.net/pg13/cgi-bin/pod.cgi at line 134, next 2 tokens "new CGI"
syntax error in file /data1/hypermart.net/pg13/cgi-bin/pod.cgi at line 136, next 2 tokens "->"
syntax error in file /data1/hypermart.net/pg13/cgi-bin/pod.cgi at line 138, next 2 tokens "->"
syntax error in file /data1/hypermart.net/pg13/cgi-bin/pod.cgi at line 140, next 2 tokens "->"
syntax error in file /data1/hypermart.net/pg13/cgi-bin/pod.cgi at line 141, next 2 tokens "s/%([\dA-Fa-f]{2})/pack("C", hex($1))/eisg"
syntax error in file /data1/hypermart.net/pg13/cgi-bin/pod.cgi at line 145, next 2 tokens "->"
syntax error in file /data1/hypermart.net/pg13/cgi-bin/pod.cgi at line 153, next 2 tokens "->"
syntax error in file /data1/hypermart.net/pg13/cgi-bin/pod.cgi at line 154, next 2 tokens "->"
syntax error in file /data1/hypermart.net/pg13/cgi-bin/pod.cgi at line 155, next 2 tokens "->"
/data1/hypermart.net/pg13/cgi-bin/pod.cgi has too many errors.
URL: http://pg13.hypermart.net/cgi-bin/pod.cgi

Has anybody else had experienced problems with CGI module on HyperMart servers?

Thank you Alex.

First of all, I'm pretty sure that Hypermart has all the modules installed that that script requires. If you want to find out for sure check out:

http://wss.hypermart.net/hm

The webmaster wrote a program that allows you to search for modules installed on the Hypermart servers. He also has a couple of other useful Hypermart-specific programs as well.

Cade, thanks for the link! Very useful information on that site Smile
By using the utilities provided on that site, I found that HyperMart does not have URI and HTTP modules installed; sad news Frown I was planing to use them full time.
Any way, is there a way to install them? Wink

Thank you again.
