WWW::Mechanize::Firefox - installation-troubles on

good day dear fellow perl-programmers.

i have serious install-troubles with WWW::Mechanize::Firefox on OpenSuse 12.1 (which is a linux system that is used here in Europe): see the issues that i noticed in the command-line:

 cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.960001)                                                                                                                             
Enter 'h' for help.

  New CPAN.pm version (v1.9800) available.
  [Currently running version is v1.960001]
  You might want to try
    install CPAN
    reload cpan
  to both upgrade CPAN.pm and run the new version without leaving
  the current session.

Warning: Cannot install WWW::Mechanize::Firefox;, don't know what it is.
Try the command


 i /WWW::Mechanize::Firefox;/

to find objects with matching identifiers.

回答1:

You are using the system Perl. Install from the standard repository or devel:languages:perl first.

sudo zypper install perl-WWW-Mechanize

Fall back to CPAN if the module is not packaged yet.

MozRepl. Use a search engine next time for such a basic thing.

回答2:

Yes; that is the correct way to install a module using the cpan script. The important lines are:

⁝
/usr/bin/make -- OK
⁝
/usr/bin/make test -- OK
⁝
/usr/bin/make install  -- OK

They state that make, make test and make install ran successfully.
