Problem with perl script in AIX

Author: T.Junker (21 Nov 04 5:04pm)

I installed the perl script per the instrructions but this line doesn't work in my system:

use Digest::MD5 qw(md5_hex);

I get this in the httpd error log:

Can't locate Digest/MD5.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.00503/aix
/usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.00503 /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.005/aix /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.005 .) at /usr/HTTPServer/cgi-bin/wallhat.cgi line 39.

It looks like you're missing the Perl module required to do MD5 hashing (Digest::MD5). You may be able to use CPAN to install it automatically. To try, enter the following line from your command line:

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Digest::MD5'

If that doesn't work, or you want to install it manually, you can download the latest copy of the module from:

http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/module/Digest::MD5

Let me know if that solves the problem.

Checking if your kit is complete...

Looks like you're missing one of the low-level "digest" (hash) modules. Try....

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Digest::base'

Then....

perl -MCPAN -e 'install File::Spec'

Then....

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Digest::MD5'

Good news is it looks like you've got CPAN working!
