[p4perl] Help for a beginner

[Craig Leigh]

I have received the same error:

/*
P4::Client::Run() - Client has not been initialised at
C:/Perl/site/lib/P4.pm line 211.
Failed to connect to Perforce Server at C:\src\p4samp.pl line 7.
*/

but I'm working on it.  My $VERSION in p4.pm is: $VERSION = qq( 1.2587
);

I also have:

ActiveState Perl: This is perl, v5.6.1 built for
MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
Perforce client: 2004.2 72642
P4Perl: p4perl56-setup-2.2596.exe
Windows XP Professional w/SP2

Do I have the wrong P4?

Hello,

I am keen to try and code some scripts which will automate a number of
little tasks for us. As I already have perl 5.6, I simply downloaded
P4perl and attempted to use the "Synopsis" code to get me started:

P4::Client::Run() - Client has not been initialised at
:/Perl/site/lib/P4.pm line 223.
Failed to connect to Perforce Server at p4perl.pl line 11.


I am clearly missing something ... Here is my code:

use P4;
my $p4 = new P4;
$user = "<<myP4Username>>";
$clientname = "<<myP4ClientSpecName>>";
$p4port = "<<myP4serverHost:port>>";

$p4->SetUser ( $user );
$p4->SetClient( $clientname );
$p4->SetPort ( $p4port );
#$p4->SetPassword( $p4password );
$p4->Connect() or die( "Failed to connect to Perforce Server" );

my $info = $p4->Run( "info" );
#$p4->Edit( "file.txt" ) or die( "Failed to edit file.txt" );
$p4->Disconnect();

I am working on Windows XP.


Regards

John Hughes
