ok so I installed mac ports recently.

It then added this line into my .bash_profile

# MacPorts Installer addition on 2013-01-17_at_18:11:48: adding an app
+ropriate PATH variable for use with MacPorts.
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH

And now when I try to run lets say my dancer app, it goes and says:

If I comment the line out everything sort of works. But now because of this mishap I probably installed double copies of some modules on my opt/localand on my regular modules directory. (I'm generally new to perl and osx)

Questions:

  1. Can I live without local lib thing? It's my personal computer and I just want the regular installations, I'm happy with sudo cpan
  2. Will mac ports NOT work with that line commented?

In reply to I installed mac ports and now all my cpan dependencies cannot be found by gideondsouza
