Dear List,
I am chaged with setting up LDAP monitoring using some
tool. I came across this Look.pl utility. But when I try to run this
file I got the error... I am a newbie to PERL.
perl look.pl
/usr/perl5/5.6.1/lib//sun4-solaris-64int/usr/perl5/5.6.1/lib//usr/iplane
t/perl5/lib/site/Mozilla/LDAP//usr/ds/v5.2/nsPerl5.005_03/lib/site/Mozil
la/LDAP//usr/ds/v5.2/nsPerl5.006_01/lib/site/Mozilla/LDAP//usr/perl5/5.6
..1/lib/sun4-solaris-64int/usr/perl5/5.6.1/lib/usr/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/
sun4-solaris-64int/usr/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/usr/perl5/site_perl/usr/per
l5/vendor_perl/5.6.1/sun4-solaris-64int/usr/perl5/vendor_perl/5.6.1/usr/
perl5/vendor_perl.
Can't locate object method "new" via package "Mozilla::LDAP::Conn"
(perhaps you forgot to load "Mozilla::LDAP::Conn"?) at look.pl line 767.
Thing is I have this Conn.pm in these many locations.
/usr/perl5/5.6.1/lib/Conn.pm
/usr/iplanet/perl5/lib/site/Mozilla/LDAP/Conn.pm
/usr/ds/v5.2/nsPerl5.005_03/lib/site/Mozilla/LDAP/Conn.pm
/usr/ds/v5.2/nsPerl5.006_01/lib/site/Mozilla/LDAP/Conn.pm
Where am I going wrong I tried adding the path in Use lib ...
Please help me out.
TIA
Carl

If it's malfunctioning, why aren't you complaining to the person who
wrote it from whereever you "came across" it?

Perl is the language, perl is the program. There is no PERL.

Irrelevant. The error message is telling you that you tried to run a
method of the class, but you never *used* the class. That is, your
look.pl script does not contain the line:
use Mozilla::LDAP::Conn;

| Hi
How come your Comm.pm is in several locations?
Anyway, use "lib" to ensure opath is on the path.
I normally do the following:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use lib "../"; # parent directory
use strict;
use warnings;
use Library; my $library=new Library;
my $headtag=$library->headtag;
my $bodytag=$library->bodytag;
etc etc

do you have this near the top of your script?
use Mozilla::LDAP::Conn;

If you have the line
use Mozilla::LDAP::Conn;
in your program, Perl will look in all the paths in @INC for a file with the
relative path
Mozilla/LDAP/Conn.pm
so the first of these is no use at all as it doesn't have directories Mozilla
and LDAP in the path. The rest are fine, except that none of the locations are
in @INC. If you add any of
/usr/iplanet/perl5/lib/site
/usr/ds/v5.2/nsPerl5.005_03/lib/site
/usr/ds/v5.2/nsPerl5.006_01/lib/site
to @INC then Perl will find the module correctly. Which is the best place to
use depends on the way your system is set up and where other modules are kept.
HTH,
Rob

I tried making a few changes now and it didn't show the perl module
error... it shows a different type of error.
I gave the absolute path in the location as shown in the line below.
Illegal division by zero at Look.pl line 763.
Line 763 is $ldap_conn =3D new
/usr/iplanet/perl5/lib/site/Mozilla/LDAP/Conn("$parm{'ldaphost'}", "
$parm{'ldapport'}");
I gave the correct IP for ldaphost and 389 as port.
Has anyone used this utility?
Thanks in advance
Carl

Hi Carl
(Please bottom-post your replies so that long threads like this one remain
comprehensible. Thanks.)
First of all, display the contents of @INC using
print "$_\n" foreach @INC;
then each element will appear on a separate line and the output will be more
readable.
Now you haven't understood what I wrote. Perl is looking for a file
Mozilla/LDAP/Conn.pm
in any of the paths in @INC. So with the 'use lib' line you have it will look
for
/usr/perl5/5.6.1/lib/Mozilla/LDAP/Conn.pm
/usr/iplanet/perl5/lib/site/Mozilla/LDAP/Mozilla/LDAP/Conn.pm
/usr/ds/v5.2/nsPerl5.005_03/lib/site/Mozilla/LDAP/Mozilla/LDAP/Conn.pm
/usr/ds/v5.2/nsPerl5.006_01/lib/site/Mozilla/LDAP/Mozilla/LDAP/Conn.pm
* /usr/ds/v5.2/nsPerl5.005_03/lib/site/Mozilla/LDAP/Conn.pm
yet according to your original post, Conn.pm exists at all of
/usr/perl5/5.6.1/lib/Conn.pm
/usr/iplanet/perl5/lib/site/Mozilla/LDAP/Conn.pm
* /usr/ds/v5.2/nsPerl5.005_03/lib/site/Mozilla/LDAP/Conn.pm
/usr/ds/v5.2/nsPerl5.006_01/lib/site/Mozilla/LDAP/Conn.pm
none of which exist except the one I've marked, which Perl should find if your
program and the locations of the module are as you say, so please check them.
The first of these is useless because it doesn't have Mozilla/LDAP in the path.
But the others are fine as long as you have ONE of
use lib qw(/usr/iplanet/perl5/lib/site);
use lib qw(/usr/ds/v5.2/nsPerl5.005_03/lib/site);
use lib qw(/usr/ds/v5.2/nsPerl5.006_01/lib/site);
As I said before, which one you choose depends on how your system is put
together and where other similar libraries are held.
I hope this helps.
Rob

Perhaps, but you haven't understood the error message the OP is
reporting. It is not complaining that it can't find the module. It
is complaining that the module was never ATTEMPTED to be loaded.
The OP commented out the 'use' line in his above code, and didn't have
it all in the original. It needs to be uncommented
