in reply to Seeking advice re installing RRDTool::OO

The "INSTALLDIRS=site" line looks like a shell problem to me. What shell are you using as your own user? As root? I'm guessing that one, or both, of these are not sh, ksh, or bash. Try reseting your shell(s) back to one of these and trying again. It may be as simple as reseting the SHELL environment variable to /bin/sh or something - but how to do that in your shell, I'm not entirely sure.

    $ echo $SHELL /bin/bash
    Also,
    cpan> o conf shell shell /bin/bash

    Update: All in all I think it all boils down to

    $ perl -MRRDs -e1
    on the Gentoo machine, and
    $ perl -MRRDs -e1 Can't locate RRDs.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/ +perl/5.8.4 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.4 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl +5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .). BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
    on the debian one. So this may not be strictly a Perl question, but a Debian package installation one. Any idea would be welcome. Madly searching for info over Google in the meantime...
