Don't guess! The answer based on a guess has very little value as a response to a question from someone who's trying to help. Try the command suggested in Re: Can't locate WWW/Mechanize/Firefox.pm in @INC and then tell us what it does (more on this -- how to execute -- is below). And don't rely on external tools (either `Check_INC.pl`, which you don't show) nor `where` to tell you something about Perl that you can learn from your own Perl. `$ perl -v` ; `perl -e "print join \"\n\", @INC"` can both help, or, use this little piece of code, which appeared here recently: `#! /usr/bin/perl use 5.016; # adjust to suit the version identified from the + C:> prompt with <c>perl -v` [download] use ExtUtils::Installed; my $module; my $inst = ExtUtils::Installed->new(); my (@modules) = $inst->modules(); foreach $module (@modules) { say "$module"; } </c> The `die $^X` command gets executed from your command prompt, "C:\>" by preference (mine, an idiosyncracy) like this: `perl -E "die $^X;"` which will print something like this: `C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe at -e line 1.` where the part before the "(period)exe" is your path to perl. ... but at a quick glance, it appears from the content of your second code block that you're executing Oracle's 5.8 version of Perl... in which case, perhaps you didn't ask (Active State?) to add 5.16 to your path. So check your path too... is there an instance of Perl that's not in an Oracle directory? Oh yes; @Annonymous Monk doesn't live here. But you can address Monks by name, by `[name]`... for example, to say your name to call you attention to this, I use that form of address: Pavan Renjal Update: http://www.perl.com/pub/2002/05/14/mod_perl.html (under the heading "use(), require(), do(), %INC and @INC Explained" may be illuminating.

Re^5: Can't locate WWW/Mechanize/Firefox.pm in @INC by ww (Archbishop) on Jan 18, 2013 at 00:40 UTC
`path` with no arguments from your command prompt will show the existing path. you can add to it, change it, etc. Your "2." seems to say that the Oracle @inc may be higher (earlier) in your path than the 5.16 path... or that 5.16 doesn't have a proper path to your modules (which should be in a series of directories subordinate to the dir named Perl. As to an additional instance of Perl, you've answered that with `perl -v` which says immediately that 5.16 was executing. So, you've already checked that. But we still don't have quite enough info to give you an Rx for a cure.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

execute it as `diePerlPath.pl` or `perl -e " die $^X"` so you can learn which perl is being executed If you have a specific perl in mind, use an absolute path to it And manage your %PATH% and associations so you're using the perl you want to use and not the other one On win32 , shells, %PATH% and the like vienv - Edit local environment variables on Win32, CleanPath perlrun Behind the GUI lives the Shell Windows Command Line Interpreter\|Shell\|DOS Prompt\|Batch Files\|Scripting Csh Programming Considered Harmful How Command Line Parameters Are Parsed http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html#Quoting String::ShellQuote/Win32::ShellQuote, Re: system() implementation on Windows (again), Re^3: system() implementation on Windows (again), Everyone quotes command line arguments the wrong way Proc::Background The Windows NT Command Shell exec always invokes the shell? win32, System, exec different behaviour with spaces	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Anonymous Monk thanks for the response. I want to use the latest instance of perl i.e perl v5.16.2 that came with Active Perl and not the one with Oracle. I have executed the code and i recieved the following results: `C:\>perl -e " die $^X" C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe at -e line 1.` [download] Thanks for the codes, i will go through them and try to execute them.
