[CSCMail-Users] Can't locate MIME/Parser.pm

[Pavlos P. <p_p...@ot...>]

Hello,
I have just installed cscmail throught the script and the rpm package
cscmail-nomodules-1.6.1-1.
During the exucation of the script i got

Did it ever install Date::Manip?  CSCMailInstaller.pl should download and
install all the modules.  If it was unable to install Date::Manip, you should
install it yourself manually (CPAN is your friend)  To find out if Date::Manip
is installed, simply run perl -MDate::Manip -e '1' and if it drops to a prompt
with no errors, Date::Manip is installed.  If, on the other hand, it gives an
error, Date::Manip is not installed.

Definately Mime::Parser is not installed, as that is what CSCMail is barfing
on... Simply read the INSTALL document, and it will list all the packages that
you need.  CSCMailInstaller.pl will go and get these for you and install them,
but if it can't, you need to do so manually...

Oh, and it took three days to respond because I am one of those wierd people
who celebrates New Years and didn't even think to look at my mail on either
Dec. 31st or Jan. 1st....

[CSCMail-Users] Exporting to Mbox problem

[Jak <ja...@no...>]

Happy new years... hope recovery is well in progress!

Q: When I export (right click on folder name, select export folder, choose
directory) I can only successfully export those folders containing a single
message. If I export a folder containing more than one messge, then all the
messages end up as one long message. (Eg when viewed in Pine, elm, balsa etc)

The following messages appear in the console:

Read on closed filehandle <TMP> at /usr/lib/cscmail/csclib.pl line 706.
Use of uninitialized value at /usr/lib/cscmail/csclib.pl line 712.
Read on closed filehandle <TMP> at /usr/lib/cscmail/csclib.pl line 706.
Use of uninitialized value at /usr/lib/cscmail/csclib.pl line 712.

(This is an exact cut'n'paste btw)

I understand that this is some kind of logic flow problem/sequence issue, but
my perl limitations far outweigh my abilities!

Is there an updated csclib.pl or a workaround or some sort?

Cheers and best wishes

Jak

PS Have switched HTML widgets to CscHTML - takes longer to generate (on my
machine) but is SO much nicer.

You had right so i installed but  now i got

Which package has Wrap?
the only package which i did installed is perl-GTK-gnome-0.6123 and this package
don't have Wrap.pm.
I found only these version of package for my perl version, for instance the
perl-HTML-Parser-3.02-2mdk.i586.rpm
needs perl-5.6.0

and believe me i am not going to upgrade all my system for just one program.
Any ideas how to solve this problem?

IO::Wrap is part of IO::Stringy  Which is needed by the Text::CSV_XS module
which is needed by the DBD::CSV driver (if you are not choosing to use a real
SQL database to store your mail)

Again, CPAN is your friend... (as root: perl -MCPAN -e shell) and tell it to
install DBD::CSV and it will go get all the dependancies for you nice and
magically.

The CSCMailInstaller.pl script should have gotten all this for you...

Oh, and installing Perl modules via RPM is never a good idea... it is much
better to use CPAN.

Of course not... this, by the way, is one of the many reasons I am re-writing
CSCMail in C and not using a database anymore... the dependancies are much to
complex with Perl for most users to deal with.

i did it but it stopped with errors, correct me if i am wrong but this CPAN will
install tarballs and
I do n't like this, i have already install gnome-perl in tarballs and i am not
going to install any other.
As a result  i searched for rpms.

now  i am getting

as you can see i have installed 14 package in order to you cscmail but i haven't
managed yet!!

Any ideas?

The reason to use Tarballs/CPAN and not RPMS for perl modules is simple (and is
exactly what is causing the following problem.)  Perl is fairly finicky about
the locations of it's files.  If the files are not in the right places it
cannot find them.  RPM's for perl modules will invariably get it WRONG.  Using
CPAN will always get it right!	For example, your site setup has @INC (the
"includes" directory list) set to tell perl to look in the following
directories for modules:

/usr/lib/cscmail
/usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux
/usr/lib/perl5/5.00503
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005

Thats it... If a module is not in one of these directories, or beneath it, perl
cannot find it.

However, your Mail::Header module is in:
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl

Well, that directory isn't in @INC, so perl doesn't look there for any modules.

To fix this, move the Mail directory from site_perl to site_perl/5.005

But of course, this invalidates the whole reason to use RPMS... Once you
manually move this file, you can no longer uninstall this module via RPM -e ...
Again, Perl is NOT RPM friendly... DO NOT USE RPMs to install Perl modules. 
Use the CPAN shell.  It will automatically install modules in the CORRECT
locations, it will automatically download modules, it will automatically
compile the modules for your system nice and cleanly, it will automatically
install module dependancies, it will automatically test module installation and
make sure everything is installed correctly.  CPAN performs the same functions
as RPM, but in a very Perl friendly manner.  I highly recommend that you
UNINSTALL (rpm -e) all of the perl modules that you have installed via RPM, and
re-install them via CPAN... Otherwise you are going to have nothing but
problems with any perl application you try to install and use.

Part of this is because there are not RPM's for every perl module, part of it
is because some of the RPMs you have installed are mdk rpms (and therefore
compliant with the Mandrake filesystem layout) and others are NOT mdk rpms (and
therefore live in some other location and perl cannot find them)

If you are insistant on using RPMs to install perl modules, you will always
have a hard time getting perl applications to run correctly, since you will
never end up with a consistant and correctly installed perl module tree.
