Free Linux Tutorials

Obviously, this is really an old procedure, actually this is my documentation way back early 2006 when it’s my first time to work with asterisk. This procedure was implemented before in about 30-50 call center agents using softphones and it quite worked well.

So many things have changed, as we all know, from asterisk 1.2 to asterisk 1.6 , and Asterisk Management Portal is popularly known now as FreePBX. Other packages were also updated now, many changes but still asterisk is standing there as the best open source telephony system.  We had many community and commercial PBX softwares today that are asterisk-based, that’s how big asterisk right now comparing back 2006

How to check if perl module is installed?

A. Checking if Perl Module is Installed

This is important on checking if a given perl module is already installed or not.

Code:

#perl -MModule::Name -e 1

if present, no errors appeared:
[root@darwin ~]# perl -MNet::SNMP -e 1

without:

[root@darwin ~]# perl -MNet::Telnet -e 1

Can’t locate Net/Telnet.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .).
BEGIN failed–compilation aborted.

B. Check if the documentation of a perl module is installed.

perldoc Module::Name

e.g.
