Running the Perl Installation Script

Before you use the Sybase CEP Perl SDK, run the installation script, named Makefile.PL.

On Microsoft Windows, this file is typically in the directory:

C:\Program Files\SybaseC8\Server\sdk\perl\SybaseC8

On UNIX-like operating systems, this file is typically in the directory:

/home/<userID>/sybasec8/server/sdk/perl/SybaseC8

If you are installing modules into the site-specific perl library directories, you will need root privileges on UNIX-like operating systems or /administrator privileges on Microsoft Windows.

If you are installing into your own personal perl libraries, you do not need root privileges, but you need to install the libraries in such a way that perl can find them. To install into personal directories, you need a command similar to the following:

perl Makefile.pl LIB=/my/dir/perllib \
INSTALLMAN1DIR=/my/dir/man/man1 \
INSTALLMAN3DIR=/my/dir/man/man3 \
INSTALLBIN=/my/dir/bin \
INSTALLSCRIPT=/my/dir/scripts
