perl module install issue

UNIX Solaris
1

Hi,
I've been trying to install the perl module DateTime-0.72 onto Solaris 10 server.

# uname -a
SunOS 5.10 Generic_142910-17 i86pc i386 i86pc

but I'm getting the following error:

/export/home/perl-modules/DateTime-0.72/> perl Build.PL
Can't locate Module/Build.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/perl5/5.8.4/lib/i86pc-solaris-64int /usr/perl5/5.8.4/lib /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/i86pc-solaris-64int /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4 /usr/perl5/site_perl /usr/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.4/i86pc-solaris-64int /usr/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.4 /usr/perl5/vendor_perl .) at Build.PL line 5.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Build.PL line 5.

version perl I'm using:

# perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.4 built for i86pc-solaris-64int

# which perl
/usr/bin/perl
# ls -la /usr/bin/perl
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Feb 20 11:28 /usr/bin/perl -> /usr/perl5/5.8.4/bin/perl

I downloaded latest Module::Build from CPAN but had problems issue with that:

These additional prerequisites must be installed:
requires:
! Perl::OSType (we need version 1.00)
! version (we need version 0.87)
! Module::Metadata (we need version 1.000002)

I've been searching around for a possible solution and can't find one.

Any assistance you be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Brian.

install the Build module first, then try to install the DateTime-0.72

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Module::Build';

you can check the dependency modules in the cpan website itself

CPAN dependencies and test results checker: DateTime

I think you have to install below modules also. After that try to install Date::Time

CPAN::Meta
ExtUtils::CBuilder
ExtUtils::ParseXS
Parse::CPAN
Module::Build

You can verify whether the module is existing or not by

perl -e "Use Module::Build"

Hi itkamaraj,
I forgot to mention I can't use the CPAN installer - I don't have outside access.

I tried using a proxy server but that wasn't able to connect.

Can't locate object method "Use" via package "Module::Build" (perhaps you forgot to load "Module::Build"?) at -e line 1.
