Trying to run a PERL script on Uniform Server 3.5-Apollo I get the following error:

 

Perl lib version (v5.8.7) doesn't match executable version (v5.8.8) at W:/usr/lib/CGI/Carp.pm line 314.

Compilation failed in require at W:/usr/lib/Time/Local.pm line 5.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at W:/usr/lib/Time/Local.pm line 5.

Compilation failed in require at W:/cgi-bin/plans.cgi line 172.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at W:/cgi-bin/plans.cgi line 172.

 

Any suggestions?

Wow, I've never seen this before.

 

Do you have two copies of Perl installed on your computer?

 

If that isn't the case, then have you tried your script on a clean/new installation of Uniform Server?

This was a brand new installation of US.

 

Also, the program is running properly on a UNIX server.

So, have you installed Perl on your PC by yourself?

I am not sure if a separate installation of Perl is the problem never checked it. What I have found in the past some modules are version specific, i.e. need to be compiled for that version of Perl. I tried to explain on this page:

hope that helps.

No other PERL installation on my PC. A search on 'perl' shows only the perl.exe and perl58.dll in the udrive/usr/bin directory.

 

This really has me baffled.

Basically the problem is what Ric stated. Carp.pm needs to be updated.

Extract, and look for CGI/Carp.pm inside. Overwrite it with the one you have on the Uniform Server.

/me never thought Uniform Server would come with outdated modules
