Adding modules to ElectricCommander perl using CPAN
Hi, I already have 2-3 perls in my windows system. EC perl libraries is one of them. I want to try the code below:
use strict;
use warnings;
use Time::Piece;
my $str1 = 'Execution started at 05/25/2011 05:22:03 PM';
my $str2 = 'Execution completed at 05/25/2011 05:34:08 PM';
my @times = map Time::Piece->strptime(/(\d.+M)/, '%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S %p'), $str1, $str2;
my $delta = $times[1] - $times[0];
print $delta->pretty;
But, there is an error:
Can't locate Time/Piece.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:\Program Files\Electric Cloud\ElectricCommander\perl\site\lib
C:/Program Files/Electric Cloud/ElectricCommander/perl/lib C:/Program Files/Electric Cloud/ElectricCommander/perl/site/lib .) at
C:\Pearls\Temp.pl line 4.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:\Pearls\Temp.pl line 4.
I did windows cmd -> cd C:\Program Files\Electric Cloud\ElectricCommander\perl\site\lib -> cpan -> install Time::Piece.
It installed into the other perl directory and not ec perl. How do I make it install in the EC perl ? Thanks !
Sounds like an environment varialble issue -- perhaps PERL5LIB is set to the non-ec-perl directory?

@tanay - I cannot understand the instructions in the link. Can someone please help me ? I am using windows. Thanks. For example, in point 2.1 `Use a network drive to eliminate other references to spaces in the path.` I don't know how to do this.
@electricfool -- the instructions have been laid out step-by-step with the necessary commands to run (including the exact command to type for the network drive issue you mention). Please file a ticket with Electric Cloud support if you have any issues with the instructions.
See the lengthy answer to the following ASK question:
https://ask.electric-cloud.com/questions/6176/how-to-add-cpan-modules-to-ec-perl.html
A quick look at the contents of the downloaded Time-Piece perl module from CPAN shows that is in fact one of the "non-pure-perl" modules -- it contains C language code that must be compiled for your machine in order to be used. As the answer to the other ASK question notes, on a Windows platform especially that makes it nearly impossible to add this module to ec-perl.
I'd urge you to consider one of the other approaches instead.
