[SOLVED] do I have ActivePerl installed?

So the only posts I've found on this are over a decade old, and I've already tried reinstalling perl:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=34455
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=34305

To see if you have it installed it says to make a script https://docs.activestate.com/activeperl … ePerl.html like this:

use ActivePerl;
print "$ActivePerl::VERSION\n";

but when I make the script and run it, it does this:

[###@MOO ~]$ perl test.pl 
Can't locate ActivePerl.pm in @INC (you may need to install the ActivePerl module) (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.26/site_perl /usr/share/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.26/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.26/core_perl /usr/share/perl5/core_perl) at test.pl line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at test.pl line 1.

I've actually tried installing activeperl manually and then exporting the environment variable, however then the script gives no output:

[###@MOO activeperl]$ export PERL5LIB=/opt/ActivePerl-5.26/lib
[###@MOO activeperl]$ perl test.pl 

It says I need ActivePerl to do something with gnucash: http://www.suburbandollar.com/2009/02/2 … es-part-2/

How can I even tell if I have ActivePerl installed? Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED] do I have ActivePerl installed?

You are following a nine year old tutorial. Gnucash is in the AUR.

Moving to AUR Issues...

Re: [SOLVED] do I have ActivePerl installed?

lol thanks. (didn't see the date on that blog post and assumed it was recent for some reason) I already have gnucash installed so I guess I'm good. Marking as solved.
