Re:

What is vendor_perl? If it was a directory in your old @INC, you should copy the old vendor_perl library into the new one, if you still have it around. I.e.:

From the console type:

find /usr/lib | grep vendor_perl

@INC is simply a listing of paths to search for modules. Do a perl -e "foreach my $dir (@inc) { print "$dir\n"; }" to find out what paths are being searched. Usually it includes directory under /usr/lib (i.e. /usr/lib/perl5/). Copy the files you need to put into your @INC in one of those directories. Or, if you want, you can run a piece of code like this at the top of your script:

BEGIN { unshift "somedir", @INC; }

This will add the directory to your @INC from within a perl program.

vendor_perl is a Red Hat dir that contains some perl modules like you would normally find in site perl. By default redhat installs everything into a different place from the default location where you would normally find that software! vendor perl is just one example. My cynical view is that its designed to lock you into their RPM update systems. rpm -e is your friend. cheers tachyon	[reply]

I have the library. That is no problem. You can just ask perl for the @INC search directories. The current problem code is a Mandrake utility. I would rather fix my build of perl than have to debug each program as it crashes while looking for a library. If you have a config.sh that establishes the vendor_perl search path, I would like to see it. I know exactly where the missing stuff goes. I just do not know what goes there. There must be some documentation for the guys doing ports to different OSs but I have not found anything yet.	[reply]
