Research direction

Reproduce the failure with crunch_mpiGraph mpiGraph.out, then inspect the crunch_mpiGraph entry point around line 64 and the README for module-loading instructions. Determine how hostlist_lite.pm is expected to be found and document or correct the setup so the command runs without the reported @INC error.

Description

I'm getting the below error while using crunch_mpiGraph on generated output.

crunch_mpiGraph mpiGraph.out
Can't locate hostlist_lite.pm in @INC (you may need to install the hostlist_lite module) (@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 /home/sameer/mpiGraph/crunch_mpiGraph line 64.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/sameer/mpiGraph/crunch_mpiGraph line 64.

Do we need to add any path variable to use in Perl?
At least Readme doesn't reflect it.
