Re^2: LINUX PERL 5.20.2 libraries and modules: "Permission denied" for all users except root

Many thanks kroach. I had overlooked the detail that there are indeed several ways to install PERL.

Yesterday, I had configured the installation as recommended on http://www.cpan.org/src/README.html :

tar -xzf perl-5.20.2.tar.gz
cd perl-5.20.2
./Configure -des -Dprefix=$HOME/localperl
make
make test
make install
[download]

As I recognize now the -Dprefix=$HOME/localperl makes essentially a "personalized" version of PERL for the installing user. In my case this user is root - that explains the problem of the other users and the entries in @INC.

Today, I configured as recommended in the INSTALL help and without a prefix:

tar -xzf perl-5.20.2.tar.gz
cd perl-5.20.2
sh Configure -de
make
make test
make install
[download]

Now everything works fine for all users and the entries in @INC are ok!

With many thanks and kind regards
