Try slocate Mailer.pm If it does not find something like /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Mail/Mailer.pm Then you do not have the module installed. Try slocate Mail::Mailer if you get /usr/share/man/man3/Mail::Mailer.3pm then you have the manpage (which is what perldoc is finding). If you have the module, but it is not in the paths specified by @INC then you can say (using my examples) use lib '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1'; in your perl code and find it. If you don't have the module then you need to run perl -MCPAN -e 'install Mail::Mailer' -- Today is Boomtime the 8th day of Bureaucracy in the YOLD 3168 You are what you see.
