Re^2: path issues? installed module not found

I only call my scripts via /usr/bin/perl so Im assuming (naively) that there is only one version installed.

aeolus (/vol0/homes/person/progs)$ /usr/bin/perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.5 built for i386-linux-thread-multi
[download]

Is THAT the problem? I see other versions in the path but looking again I don't see anything more recent than 5.8.5.

Well I'll be tarred and feathered. (likely). I'll ask for an upgrade and see what happens.

aeolus (/vol0/homes/person/progs)$ /usr/bin/perl -v Run `which perl` instead (will tell you the perl binary you're actually using).	[reply] [d/l]

Agreed. If the default perl on your path is different from /usr/bin/perl, that'd be why your script can't find the module you've installed. You then could either a) update your script to point to the version of perl that your shell is already using, or b) install your module for the version of perl that your script is using. Either way could be correct, I suppose, depending on your scripts needs. You might also be able to do something like: `#! /usr/bin/env perl` to run your script with whatever perl your shell would use by default, but that way might lie madness...	[reply] [d/l]

FWIW: it does appear to have been a version issue. Since we're updated via RH we're still on 5.8.5. I asked the techies to install 5.8.8 in a new path and everything seems to have settled in nicely there.	[reply]
