jakeeboy has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have a problem. I'm running Mac OS X Panther. I've noticed that when I update via CPAN that the Perl Modules are built into /Library/Perl but not into /System/Library/Perl. Now whenever I update a Perl Module CPAN continues to report that the module has not been updated at all and perl continues to use the old perl module because it is in /System/Library/Perl. Is there a way to get perl to search through /Library/Perl first then /System/Library/Perl assuring that the updated modules are used first? Thanks

    Yes. Try to mess around with the perl variable @INC or with your system's environmental variable $PERL5LIB
