Dear all,

I'm trying to install Readonly.pm. I couldn't install at the default path as I don't have root permission.
I've therefore installed it in ~misc/perl_lib, where I do have permissions, by typing

perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~/misc/perl_lib;
make;
make test;
make install;

I then copied Readonly.pm to ~/misc/perl_lib (it was buried in ~/misc/perl_lib/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/ ) and added 
...
use lib '~/misc/perl_lib';
...

[download]
to the top of my script. I got a can't locate Readonly error, so I tried adding 
...
use lib '~/misc/perl_lib/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/';
...

[download]
but still got the can't find error, as below, even though the correct diretories seem to be in @INC:

Can't locate Readonly.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
~/misc/perl_lib/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/
~/misc/perl_lib
/usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.5/x86_64-l....etc

Any suggestions??
thanks!
