I am running a perl script that uses Config::General. However, when I run the script, I get the error:
Can't locate Config/General.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Config::General module) (@INC contains: /Library/Perl/5.18/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.18 /Network/Library/Perl/5.18/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Network/Library/Perl/5.18 /Library/Perl/Updates/5.18.2/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/Updates/5.18.2 /System/Library/Perl/5.18/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/5.18 /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.18/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.18 .) at test.pl line 6.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at test.pl line 6.
When I try to install it myself (using 'cpanm Config::General'), I get:
Can't write to /Library/Perl/5.18 and /usr/local/bin: Installing modules to /Users/../perl5
Not sure if I should attempt to try to install as root since this is a work computer? Any other options?

Since you already use cpanm
, you may try this approach:
~/perl5
cpanm -L ~/perl5 Config::General
@INC
to includ that when running your program, for example:perl -I ~/perl5/lib/perl5 test.pl
The path looks a bit odd, but that's because cpan distributions may contain something more than a .pm
file.
Generally speaking this should work most of the time. :-)
