Re: Can't locate feature.pm in @INC

You are trying to use a feature that is in perl-5.10 and not in your
installed version of perl 5.8.8.

If you want switch functionality then you might want to install the
Switch cpan module from which you will be able to

use Switch;

switch ($val) {
case 1 { print "number 1" }
case "a" { print "string a" }
}

or upgrade to perl-5.10

Hello, at http://search.cpan.org/~rgarcia/perl-5.10.0/pod/perlsyn.pod#Switch_statements they say
Starting from Perl 5.10, you can say
use feature "switch";

But when I am using "This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi"

I still got error of

william@william-pc:~$ perl
use feature "switch";
Can't locate feature.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at - line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at - line 1.


How can I solve this ? Thanks
