Hi, I have looked at internet but could not any info. Therefore I have to ask this stupid question:

I have installed Unicode::Map for Perl 5.8.5 as follows: 

perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home
make
make install

[download]
I see then Unicode modules have been installed into:
/home/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/Unico
+de
/home/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Unicode

[download]

Now in this case when I run, 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use lib ("/home/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5");
use Unicode::Map;
print "RUNS\n";

[download]

I get

Can't locate Unicode/Map.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /home/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5 /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/x86_64-linux-thread-multi...

Since all module I install go to /home/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5, I thought it must be enough to use this directory and Perl is fairly intelligent to get Unicode directory. Now my questions:

  1. Why did installation put the Unicode stuff into 64-bit directories? My machine is 64-bit, is it default installation behaviour?
  2. Shall I explicitly add "use lib" argument for /home/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/x86_64-linux-thread-multi?
  3. Is there any way in Perl to let all these lib-search stuff to the interpreter, so that I shan't worry about all these?
I know, these might be stupid questions but I can't find such simple information on internet. Thanks in advance and sorry for simple questions.
