Perl – Can’t locate XML/Simple.pm in @INC

Recently while I am trying to reuse a perl scrip I got an error saying “Can’t locate XML/Simple.pm in @INC”.

Following is complete error message:

Can’t locate XML/Simple.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.14.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.14 /usr/share/perl/5.14 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .)

After debugging for a while I got to know is XML/Simple.pm module is available in “libxml-simple-perl”, I installed libxml-simple-perl module and re-executed script, the script worked without any issue.

Use following command to install libxml-simple-perl module:

$ sudo apt-get install libxml-simple-perl

Perl/Nagios – Can’t locate utils.pm in @INC

This is one more issue related Nagios Plugin which is written as Perl script.

While trying to use a Nagios plugin I got an error saying that “Can’t locate utils.pm in @INC”.

Following is complete error:

Can’t locate utils.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /root /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.14.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.14 /usr/share/perl/5.14 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .)

This issue is occurred due wrong library path in Nagios Plugin(Perl Script).

When I checked library path in script its given as ‘use lib “/usr/local/nagios/libexec”;’ where path /usr/local/nagios/libexec is not exists in our os.

All libraries are available in path “/usr/lib/nagios/plugins”, so I changed lib path in my script to “/usr/lib/nagios/plugins”. After changing the path Nagios Plugin is worked without any issue.

Perl/Nagios – Can’t locate Sys/Statistics/Linux.pm in @INC

While trying to use a Nagios plugin I got an error saying that “Can’t locate Sys/Statistics/Linux.pm in @INC”.

Following is complete error:

Can’t locate Sys/Statistics/Linux.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins /root /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.14.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.14 /usr/share/perl/5.14 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .)

After debugging about error I got to know that there is a perl module in Linux to get system statistics called “libsys-statistics-linux-perl” and which is missing in my machine.

Since I am using Ubuntu, I installed libsys-statistics-linux-perl module with apt-get by using following command:

$ apt-get install libsys-statistics-linux-perl

After installing libsys-statistics-linux-perl module above issue got resolved for me.
