in thread How to handle Cross-platform Perl, modules, and versioning

I solved one problem. For some reason, Perl 5.6.1 on solaris has 2 versions of IO. Therefore, my PERL5LIB needs to look like this: 
PERL5LIB=/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/:/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/sun4-s
+olaris:/foo/custom/perl/lib

[download]

The version requirement was being caught because of a problem with the "newer" solaris IO::Handle being the only module to reference. And guess what... there is nothing in that directory but Socket. IO::Handle lives in the /sun4-solaris sub-directory.

Once this fix was made, logfile.pm was able to find the correct version of IO::Handle.
