Re^2: can't locate auto/*/autosplit.ix in @INC

-I did not upgrade perl. somebody else did. I will ask when they come back around. I believe it was with yum.

-most modules were installed with cpan. some modules were given to me through email. those were copied to a directory then tar -xvf .....

-Here is the output of AutoSplit:

Simply copying modules around isn't always going to work, if they are modules on CPAN use the `cpan` command to install them. `cpan XML::DOM::BagOfTricks`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

okay thanks. I think i'm just going to reinstall fedora. Can you advise me on the best way to update perl? I want to avoid having multiple installations.	[reply]

If you're looking for an easy life, leave the system perl alone. You can go the Local::Lib route while running the system perl. I prefer to build my own perl elsewhere on the system. This means you can use a more modern perl than your OS supplies (I often have to work with older OS, e.g. Solaris ships with v5.8). To do this manually, unpack the download: `./Configure -des -Dprefix=$HOME/localperl make test make install` [download] A lot of people use perlbrew to do this for them, or to run multiple perls.
