I am running Centos 6.4 and perl 5.10. I have short script which uses the DateTime
module. However when I run my script I get the following error message telling me various modules cannot be located as they are not in the library path.
Can't locate Params/Validate.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .) at /usr/lib64/perl5/DateTime/Duration.pm line 11.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib64/perl5/DateTime/Duration.pm line 11.

Compilation failed in require at ./jr_fix_western_filestore.perl line 39.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./jr_fix_western_filestore.perl line 39.
All of these packages have been installed via yum. eg yum install perl-Params-Validate.x86_64
and yum install perl-DateTime.x86_64
. Should the yum install not place these modules in @INC?
I have also tried to install the packages via cpan but this seems to want to download lots of dependencies first and inevitably fails.

Adding it now as such.
When I try to install Module::Build in cpan, I get the following error

I'm not sure if these paths are searched by @INC
However locate Validate.pm
returns nothing

I'm late to the discussion, but had the same problem. Here is how I solved it.
CPAN was giving me the same error because an older version of was installed under yum. I updated the package via yum and was able to move forward.

Seems that you have RPMforge configured for RHEL / Centos 4 but you use Centos 6:
Installing: perl-Params-Validate x86_64 0.95-1.el4.rf
Follow the instructions from this site and do global dist upgrade to fix broken dependencies (I you're lucky reinstall won't be needed). Then install perl packages you want.
