Hi. I am installing Bugzilla in my SUSE server. It requires some Perl modules to be pre-installed. I am unable to install those Perl modules. I receive the following message when I try to install any of the modules: [COLOR="#FF0000"]Has already been unwrapped into directory /root/.cpan/build/List-MoreUtils-0.33-TatoG0 Has already been made Skipping test because of notest pragma Running make install Already done[/COLOR] What should I do to install the modules properly ? Thanks in advance. ---

See [https://www.novell.com/communities/node/9222/how-add-additional-perl-modules-your-linux-installation](https://www.novell.com/communities/node/9222/how-add-additional-perl-modules-your-linux-installation) for a Cool Solutions article I wrote on how to do this. ## HTH.

If you’re not using SLES 11 SP3 you need you get a different version of the SDK which matches the version of SLES you’re using.

Any missing ones should be found here; [http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/perl/](http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/perl/) Unsupported as such. As to why you can’t build via cpan, not really sure. Maybe move your .cpan folder and start again. – Cheers Malcolm °¿° SUSE Knowledge Partner (Linux Counter #276890) SLED 11 SP3 (x86\_64) GNOME 2.28.0 Kernel 3.0.93-0.8-default If you find this post helpful and are logged into the web interface, please show your appreciation and click on the star below… Thanks! ---

Hi dghere, > How can I successfully install the modules ? if you want to continue the CPAN approach, please follow the advice already given and move away your current CPAN directory (/root/.cpan) to start from scratch. It looks like you have quite some previous builds in there, probably from old releases, and something is confusing the dependency checks. Regards, Jens
