GDBM_File: scratching my head

[osx at colya.com]

I am trying to run a script that references GDBM_File

No matter what I do.. I am stuck..

Issuing ./parsexmlguide.pl --file ./listings/test.xml gives:

iBook:~/guidedir tivo$ ./parsexmlguide.pl --file ./listings/test.imdb.xml
Can't locate GDBM_File.pm in @INC (@INC contains: . /sw/lib/perl5

I have tried to install GDBM  via CPAN with no success...

Results below:

cpan> install GDBM_File
CPAN: Storable loaded ok

Running install for module GDBM_File
Running make for N/NW/NWCLARK/perl-5.8.3.tar.gz

The most recent version "1.07" of the module "GDBM_File"
comes with the current version of perl (5.8.3).
I'll build that only if you ask for something like
    force install GDBM_File
or
    install N/NW/NWCLARK/perl-5.8.3.tar.gz
Running make test
  Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test
  Has no own directory
Running make install
  Has no own directory
  Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't install


I then installed Perl 5.8.3, which apparently includes GDBM_File. 

After it was all done, I ran the command again, specifically pointing to 5.8.3
(/usr/local/bin/perl parsexmlguide.pl --file ./listings/test.imdb.xml), with
the same original result.  I really need help now, as I'm reaching the far
corners of my linux knowledge.



Ideally I'd like it to run under the standard 5.8.1 MacOSX PERL, but have had 0
luck.  Any help will be greatly appreciated!
