Re: [mh] The Post Insteon World

 That didn't seem to help. I know that MH modifies @INC so testing from the
command line won't know about MH's modifications.  Here's what I got when I
tried it from the command line.

misterhouse@raspberrypi:/var/local/misterhouse/prod $ cd
/usr/local/misterhouse/lib
misterhouse@raspberrypi:/usr/local/misterhouse/lib $ ls -l
Tasmota_HTTP_Item.pm
-rwxr-xr-x 1 misterhouse misterhouse 25149 Jul  4 17:25 Tasmota_HTTP_Item.pm
misterhouse@raspberrypi:/usr/local/misterhouse/lib $ ls -l Generic_Item.pm
-rw-r--r-- 1 misterhouse misterhouse 63266 Jul  4 17:25 Generic_Item.pm
misterhouse@raspberrypi:/usr/local/misterhouse/lib $ perl
Tasmota_HTTP_Item.pm
Can't locate Generic_Item.pm in @INC (you may need to install the
Generic_Item module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl
/usr/local/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/perl/5.28.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.28.1
/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/perl5/5.28 /usr/share/perl5
/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/perl/5.28 /usr/share/perl/5.28
/usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/perl-base) at
/usr/share/perl/5.28/parent.pm line 16.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Tasmota_HTTP_Item.pm line 98.
misterhouse@raspberrypi:/usr/local/misterhouse/lib $

Has anyone else run into these problems while implementing Tasmota?

Thanks,
Bruce
