Question

My hosted server is missing four PERL modules required for twiki. I understand that I can place these modules in the same directory as other scripts and it will work (as long as the directory is part of @INC). My question is, where do I find these modules to add to the directory? For example, I'm missing error.PM. How do I find and extract that file so it can copied to the correct directory.

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

you don't actually need to install Error.pm because it's already included with twiki (in $twikiLibPath/lib/CPAN/lib), so if you're getting an error message, it sounds like your $twikiLibPath (in bin/LocalLib.cfg) isn't defined correctly.

if you need to install other CPAN modules (eg, for plugins) which aren't provided by your distribution, see the instructions on CpanReadme (for a local module installation) or run sudo cpan install Modules... for a system-wide installation. do not place them in the bin directory with the other scripts.

(ps, if this is a new installation, i'd recommend you install TWikiRelease04x00x02 instead)
