There is no CPAN module named plot.pm. There is a module named
Chart::Plot, though, with the _file_ Plot.pm.
Btw, are GD.pm and libgd available on your system? If not, you'd better
install them first, since Chart::Plot is just a front end to GD.
by following the undermentioned method
http://www.base64.co.uk/installing-perl-modules/ but I failed. What
have I missed?
Why are you choosing that installation method? Don't you have command
line access to your system?
I am using windowsXP. I am using Perl-5-10. I installed perl in
c:\perl\.
Apparently you have command line access, then...
To install the module plot.pm, using the methods below, I create a
new subdirectoy c:\perl\lib\graph, and then copy plot.pm into
c:\perl\lib\graph, so now I have the file plot.pm in
c:\perl\lib\graph\plot.pm
Wouldn't it have been better to create the subdirectory
C:\Perl\site\lib\Chart and copy Plot.pm into that directory?
I then run a test but the results says :-
Can't locate Chart.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/site/lib
C:/Perl/lib .) at Untitled1 line 4. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted
at Untitled1 line 4.
############ testing script ################
use strict;
use warnings;
use Chart("c:\\perl\\lib\\graph\\plot.pm");
You'd better remove that line. It makes no sense (and causes the
compilation error).
use Chart::Plot;
Unless you follow my suggestion above, you can't use() the module. You
can possibly say
require 'C:/Perl/lib/graph/Plot.pm';
but that's not advisable.
