I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

Problems with Net::Pcap install
Hello, I'm running into problems trying to install Net-Pcap-0.14. I run 'perl Makefile.PL INC=... LIBS=...' (INC and LIBS path details left out) I get the following error: error: system call to 'cc -E -I/usr/add-on/exptools/lib/pcap/include -DHAVE_BLANK -DHAVE_PCAP_LIB_VERSION find-funcs.h -o cpp-out.h' failed at Makefile.PL line 326. I see in the README file, "To install the extension in a private directory, you can use the PREFIX option when creating Makefile.PL". I don't know if the reason for the above error is that I need to tell it to install the extension in a private directory. If so, I don't know what it means to "use the PREFIX option when creating Makefile.PL". Makefile.PL is already created in the downloaded package. I don't see any PREFIX option in Makefile.PL. I tried to run 'perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=..." to point to my private path, this didn't work either. Seems like they are leaving out some of the details here. Any tips would be greatly appreciated - Thanks! John
