I need to work on a Perl script that has some tasks, like reading/writing Excel sheets, connection to an Oracle database, etc.
First I used ActivePerl. On installing modules, ActivePerl threw an error:
Authorization required 401
(I.e., it requires a business licence for adding modules.)
Then I tried the same with Strawberry Perl, but I still could not install.
What I have tried:
- CPAN
- ppm
- Download a module and install using it nmake
- Install modules using the Padre Perl IDE.
Is this a license issue? Or am I missing something here? Is Perl a free distribution for development?
The image shows installing DBD::Oracle on Strawberry Perl v5.22.0:
o conf http_proxy
in your CPAN shell. – Sobriqueppm
to install packages built by anyone else, or from usingcpan
. But yeah, the problem he's now experiencing is a lack of access to the internet. – ikegami
