Hi there,

The print out from the original test script you gave me is the output when I run it. I installed perl 5.10, and this gives me the same output, just with the single version for perl for the @INC paths (I installed it in a different location).

The new installation has fixed all my problems for perl, as long as it is run from the new location (needing all the new modules etc). So when I run the simple code above, I get the same results as you. If I run it with the old version, I get the same error message as the second one from my original post, regardless of whether I have commented out the 'use vars qw(@ISA $VERSION)' line, so it is this line that is causing all the problems. I've had a look at all the file permissions from the @INC paths and they all seem ok. I've looked in all the paths that are thrown up in the error message, is there anywhere else I need to look, specifically for $VERSION? Carp.pm, File, File/Spec, and all the packages in these folders all have the correct permissions (-rw-r--r-- for .pm files, and drwxr-xr-x for folders, I'm assuming that these are all correct?)

Thanks for your help
