I am trying to archive file and for that used "use Archive::Extract" and "use Archive::Tar"...But while running the script it throws an error "Can't locate Archive.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 .) at test.pl line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at test.pl line 1."....To resolve this I wrote cpan -i Archive..However that also not worked, Please advise, is it because of perl version....For me it is "
This is perl, v5.8.8 built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi

I think you just need to be specific. Try:

cpan -i Archive::Extract

And see what kind of error you get.

What to do now

[keath]

Seems like your CPAN is not configured.

I would try going into the cpan shell as the root user, and then reinitializing.

sudo cpan

Enter your password. Then at the cpan prompt:

o conf init
