Hello, I have a problem using the XML::XSLT Perl Module. I've installed the module using the CPAN shell, as well as the dependencies that come up during the installation (as root) but when I attempt to 'use XML::XSLT' in my scripts, I get the following error: Can't locate XML/DOM/DOMException.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.8.2/aix-thread-multi /usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.8.2 /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.2/aix-thread-multi /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.2 /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.2/XML/DOM.pm line 526. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.2/XML/DOM.pm line 526. Compilation failed in require at /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.2/XML/XSLT.pm line 91.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at afsToIT5.pl line 5. Here is the beginning of the script where the problem resides; -------------- #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use File::Temp; use XML::XSLT; --------------- I've checked to see that the XML::DOM module is installed in the default CPAN install directory for modules (it was a dependent of XML::XSLT). Any suggestions as to why this is happening? Any more info needed? Thank you all, RT

The error is telling you that Perl can't find the XML::DOM::DOMException module. Either it's not installed, or was not installed correctly. Try reinstalling it. http://search.cpan.org/author/TJMAT... If you do have it on your system, then you may want to uninstall it before trying to reinstall.

Thanks for the reply FishMonger. Is there a defined way to uninstall modules? I was reading up on it and lots of posts said it wasn't encouraged to do so. I'm willing to try though. So is there a process to uninstall? I'm on AIX 5.3 by the way. RT

FAQ: How do I remove installed Perl modules? http://cpan.org/misc/cpan-faq.html#... However, since Perl doesn't "see" the module, this may or may not work. You may need to manually delete the module directories. I didn't realize this until now, but the link I gave for the module shows that particular module isn't being distributed. You may need to contact its author. I haven't used the XML::XSLT module, but if it depends on your missing module, you may want to remove/reinstall XML::XSLT and watch for build errors.
