I have tried this on two operating systems (first on Fedora then on Ubuntu(recommended)) and I am still confused so I am reaching out to the community.
I have access to ARIN’s bulk whois data and want to parse the xml file and throw it into a database. I came across a Perl script that does exactly this in a github repo https://github.com/giovino/Arin-XML-Data-to-MySQL. This is done on Ubuntu and stored in a mysql database.
I followed all of the steps, 1.) Download the project, 2.) Untar, 3.) Install libraries, 4.) Install perl modules, 5.) Install mysql, start the mysql-server, and create the “BulkWhois” database as suggested.
When I run the command:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ./McKizzle-Arin-XML-Data-to-MySQL-dc77a54/src/bulkwhois2database.pl --file ~/arin_db.xml --dbms mysql --database BulkWhois --host localhost --port 3306
I get this error message:
Can't locate BulkWhois/Schema.pm in @INC (you may need to install the BulkWhois::Schema module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.18.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.18.2 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.18 /usr/share/perl/5.18 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at ./McKizzle-Arin-XML-Data-to-MySQL-dc77a54/src/bulkwhois2database.pl line 12.BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./McKizzle-Arin-XML-Data-to-MySQL-dc77a54/src/bulkwhois2database.pl line 12.
Line 12 in bulkwhois2database.pl:
use BulkWhois::Schema;
The error says Can't locate BulkWhois/Schema.pm in @INC. I know that in the directory above the one that bulkwhois2database.pl is in there is Schema.pm
ubuntu@ubuntu:~/McKizzle-Arin-XML-Data-to-MySQL-dc77a54/src/BulkWhois$ ls Schema Schema.pm
Do I need to move that somewhere? Maybe there is another issue?

Answer
With all of the help from Patrick, we solved the issue I was having.
Add the -I adds the current directory and made perl find the missing perl module.
Needed to install the missing Switch module:
sudo cpan -f Switch
Final command that worked:
cd ~/McKizzle-Arin-XML-Data-to-MySQL-dc77a54/src/ ; perl -I. bulkwhois2database.pl --file /tmp/arin_db.xml --dbms mysql --database BulkWhois --host localhost --port 3306 --user root
