I'm trying to upgrade my version of Perl on Mac OSX 10.2 from the default 5.6.0 to the new 5.8.2. I was able to successfully install, and after fixing some environment problems, everything seemed to work fine, as "make test" was 99.76% successful. However, when I tried to run a program I was working on before the upgrade, I discovered that wasn't able to use any modules. It turns out that the values in @INC were messed up. Every mention of the word "Perl" in the paths was followed by a "/5.8.2"; for instance, instead of "/System/Library/Perl", it would be "/System/Library/Perl/5.8.2", which of course doesn't exist. I tried to change these values during Configure by changing the values in config.sh, i.e. change: 

archlib='/System/Library/Perl/5.8.2/darwin'

[download]
to 
archlib='/System/Library/Perl/darwin'

[download]

However, this causes compile problems during make for some reason. I can't make any sense of it. Has anyone else had similar problems?

Thanks for the help,

- Joe
