Perl can't find existing modules

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

After a C program has started a perl skript and has been 
waiting for it's termination approx. 7000 times some perl 
modules can't be found. 
Two examples:                                                
                                                             
Can't locate XSLoader.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/
+i586-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl

+

But all these modules are in @INC and i (as user) can read them so the
+se error messages are wrong!               
What may be the real error and how can i fix it?

just a shot in the dark, but does the c program you are running this under have permission to run the perl script in question, Do you get the same thing when you try to run the script from the command line?	[reply]

`Yes, it has the permissions and the first approx 6000 times the executions of the perl skript are without problems. I'm starting the Program with a bash skript usually from crontab but the problem also occurs when i start it from a command line (xterm).` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
