Can't locate RPC/XML.pm Perl and RPC XML

Question

I'm getting this error message when trying to to use the RPC XML with Perl.

Software error:

Can't locate RPC/XML.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at test.pl line 9. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at test.pl line 9. For help, please send mail to the webmaster ([no address given]), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.

First I thought I didn't have XML-RPX installed. But when I look into a phpinfo()-file I find this:

xmlrpc_error_number 0 0

xmlrpc_errors Off Off

How come this error shows up? It looks to me as it is installed and PHP "finds it". But not Perl.

Answer 1

PHP having an xmlrpc config is no indication that the RPC::XML Perl module is installed, and the error message strongly suggests that it isn't (If it is, then it is outside the Perl library paths).

You need to install the RPC::XML module.
