Note: Working in OS X Darwin (10.4.1)

I'm running a .pl script that uses a .pm file that uses LWP::Simple. It's worked before and today I tried to execute it and am running into this problem.

When I run perl -e "use LWP::Simple;" it appears that the package (LWP::Simple) exists. I manually re-added the path to PERL5LIB. I even re-installed / updated it using MCPAN.

Yet, when I run my script I get 

Can't locate LWP/Simple.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /Users/brucedb/edev

Notes about the above error message:

1. line 20 in algo.pl is "use utils.pm;"

2. line 9 in utils.pm is "use LWP::Simple;"

3. /lib /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.9/LWP/ is the directory containing Simple.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
