Thank you VERY much for this response. I am not really hung up on CPAN itself, just seems that it needs to be built to build other modules. For example: /home/idxsys/install/Config-IniFiles-2.77 # perl Makefile.PL Can't locate Module/Build/Compat.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.8.8/aix-thread-multi /usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.8.8 /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/aix-thread-multi /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl .) at Makefile.PL line 2. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Makefile.PL line 2. /home/idxsys/install/Config-IniFiles-2.77 # What can I do to get around this. I would prefer to not build custom versions as these are FDA regulated servers and it is VERY difficult to make these types of changes.
