Can't locate Plack/Runner.pm when starting /bin/start-dev.pl

This is the error I got when starting up the server.

andy@LINUXAWCM:~/Projects/Perl/yammer-alerts$ bin/start-dev.pl
Unknown option: l
Unknown option: p
Unknown option: e
Unknown option: a
Can't locate Plack/Runner.pm in @inc (@inc contains: local/lib/perl5 . /usr/share/perl/5.14 /usr/lib/perl/5.14) at /usr/local/bin/plackup line 6.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/bin/plackup line 6.

At first, I thought it was to do with the module Plack so I ran cpanm Module::Plack. But that didn't help much. So I'm stuck with it from running the web server.

Any ideas what I need to do next to troubleshoot further??

start-dev.pl is just a simple server startup script which is probably meant to be modified depending on your setup. For example, if you don't use carton, you have to remove the first 2 lines of the system call.

As for your issue, it seems it cannot find Plack/Runner.pm which is part of Plack's core.
Maybe run cpanm Plack?

Thanks jacques.

I removed the two lines of system call and then removed this other line called "-s Starman" as it couldn't find it.

Thus that leaves me with the following items.

my @cmd = (
"plackup",

"-L Shotgun",
"-p 5555",
"-E development",
"-a bin/app.pl"

);

system( join(" ", @cmd) );

started bin/start-dev.pl. It's working fine now.
