Talk:Toolserver:Perl

This page was moved from the Toolserver wiki.
Toolserver has been replaced by Toolforge. As such, the instructions here may no longer work, but may still be of historical interest.
Please help by updating examples, links, template links, etc. If a page is still relevant, move it to a normal title and leave a redirect.

Thank you very much! -- Nichtich 23:48, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

These instructions currently broken

There seems to be no /etc/perl/CPAN/Config.pm on wolfsbane right now. — 121.210.48.101 10:01, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

What about FCGI access?

These instructions now work fine for scripts I want to run from the command line, but when I move the working code to Fast CGI the modules are not accessible by the server.

What's the solution in this case? — Hippietrail 01:44, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

local::lib

I wasn't able to install XML::RSS::Parser because one of its dependencies, Class::ErrorHandler, tried to write to /usr/local/man/man3

Somebody on freenode #perl looked at these instructions and had this to say about this page:

<mst> those instructions are crap.

<mst> that makepl_arg setting isn't nearly enough.

...

<mst> if you use local::lib right you can put it in /etc/skel

<mst> so it all just comes preconfigured

<saper> in #wikimedia-toolserver says it's a good idea. Should I file a ticket on Jira? — Hippietrail 13:13, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
