Re: [cobalt-users] Username already exists

["Jeff Jensen" <jeff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I got the script to work in the shell, when I run it from PHP I get the
following error:

Can't locate Cobalt/Meta.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 .)
at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Cobalt/Vsite.pm line 51.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Cobalt/User.pm line 47.

Can somebody help

TIA,

JEFF
