Can’t locate Module/Load/Conditional.pm [Solution]

Did you get an error “Can’t locate Module/Load/Conditional.pm” while installing/Upgrading OpenSSL to the latest version?

Here’s the complete error message while compiling OpenCA from source:

Can't locate Module/Load/Conditional.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .) at .././test/run_tests.pl line 20.

Well, I did get this error on CentOS 6.9 running Perl version 5.10.1. If you ran through the same issue, then here’s a tutorial to solve the same.

How to fix Can’t locate Module/Load/Conditional.pm

As the installation script is not able to locate Module/Load/Conditional.pm, we need to install the same.

Install the perl module Module::Load::Conditional using yum as follows:

yum install perl-Module-Load-Conditional

or

You can do the same via CPAN:

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Module::Load::Conditional'

That’s it 🙂
