Hi , 
 Thanks for the reply ...  I did the same and it gives me an error like
this: 
vlsi
/user/user1/lib/perl/lib/site_perl/5.6.0>/user/user1/atpg/ATPG_johnb.0.1/bin
/runStuckat 
Can't locate loadable object for module IO::Tty in @INC (@INC contains: 



  Now you get to install another module. :)

  You need IO::Tty, which comes in a package with some other goodies.  Go to
the search.cpan.org website, type in the name of the module you need, and
download the .tar.gz file it links to.  Then do the "perl Makefile.PL ; make
; make test ; make install" thing again.

  Actually, the comment about "loadable object" may imply that part of
IO::Tty is installed, but part missing.  The best solution to that would
probably be to reinstall it as I just suggested.  If it still gives you the
message at that point, something is quite wrong with your perl installation,
and I suggest you seek out a forum like PerlMonks (perlmonks.org) for better
help.  You formulate your questions well and I'm sure that if it's something
more complicated those folks will be able to help you fairly quickly.

  If you have an imminent release but are having to learn module
installation as you go, I definitely recommend you ask your manager,
customer, or whatever responsible party for an extension so you can have the
time to learn what you need.  It took me about two years to gradually pick
up everything I needed to know about module installation.  Nowadays, the
situation is much better; typing "perldoc perlmodinstall" with a fairly
recent installation of perl will give a lot of help (all of which can be
found on the web at http://perldoc.com/perl5.8.0/pod/perlmodinstall.html).
Also, I recommend you get ahold of the latest editions of _Programming Perl_
by Larry Wall, et al ("the Camel book") and/or _Learning Perl_ by Randall
Schwartz, et al ("the Llama book").
