hi, I'm totally new to this so bear with me. I have downloaded and installed various modules in my perl 5.8 installation. I can do a perl Makefile.PL, then make, then make install problem free. Everything seems to be fine. However when I try to list the newly installed module, its not found. I have installed perl5.8 in a non default location (my home dir as I don't have root permissions). Each time I try to view the installed modules, mine isn't there. The module in question is Checking for AppConfig (v1.52) not found Are there any variables/settings I need to change. I have changed the DESTDIR variable in the Makefile generated to; DESTDIR = /home/gwalsh/perl5/usr/local/lib and DESTDIR = /home/gwalsh/perl5 Neither helped the situation. I'm feeling I'm gonna get a rap on the knuckles here... I've done something very silly haven't i??? thanks much G
