That was sort of what I was thinking should happen, but I changed the name of POSIX.so near the POSIX.pm file to POSIX.so.b to try and emulate the remote site's situation. But the script still did not fail here. Somehow it manages to load POSIX.so from somewhere whatever I do.

I am working on Solaris so naturally I can't unmount all the disks or pull the network cable (or even do a find from /).

I know that Perl is powerfull but this is starting to make me seriously question my sanity. Where does it find it?
