Missing Perl module with phptop how to fix.

While trying to run phptop after unzipping it I get the following error:

[root@torino phptop-0.5.3]# ./phptop 
Can't locate Term/Size.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .) at ./phptop line 24.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./phptop line 24.
[root@torino phptop-0.5.3]#

 

To fix it I had to follow the coming steps:

[root@torino phptop-0.5.3]# yum install cpan

[root@torino phptop-0.5.3]#

Then run cpan

[root@torino phptop-0.5.3]#cpan

And you will be asked  whether to accept default answers just press <ENTER>/

Lots of test later you are presented with the cpan prompt tyoe install Term::Size as follows:

  • ommit: wrote '/usr/share/perl5/CPAN/Config.pm'
    Terminal does not support AddHistory.
    cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.9402)
    Enter 'h' for help.
    cpan[1]> install Term::Size

After a long verbose build process assuming all went well ( you need internet connectivity to perform this step) type quit at the prompt as so:

cpan[2]> quit

This returns you to the shell prompt:

[root@torino phptop-0.5.3]# ./phptop 
No phptop records found.
[root@torino phptop-0.5.3]#

Voila !!! the program is working.The error is due to the lack of page reads as yet but the program compiled (JIT) and ran.
