`perl -e 'print join "\n", @INC'` should be different for root and non-root.	[reply] [d/l]

Hi, Thnx for the reply I can see that the contents of @INC are same for non-root and root user. $ perl -e 'print join "\n", @INC' /usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.8.2/aix-thread-multi /usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.8.2 /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.2/aix-thread-multi /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.2 /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl .$ su - root's Password: sdp2:/> perl -e 'print join "\n", @INC' /usr/local/jboss/lib/perl /usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.8.2/aix-thread-multi /usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.8.2 /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.2/aix-thread-multi /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.2 /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl Is it possible that non-root user is not ale to search under /usr/?

You are blind :) `perl -le' print for @INC' >nonroot-inc perl -le' print for @INC' >root-inc diff -ub nonroot-inc root-inc` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Maybe your other user does not have the read/execute/whatever permissions to one of the directories below which Term::Size lives. Check using `truss` or `strace` to see, if `ls` doesn't turn up anything.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Tip. `perldoc -l Term::Size` as root will tell you where that module is. If you want them somewhere else (like wherever Joe random user picks up modules), you can usually (not always, but usually) just copy the directory tree. `perldoc -l CPAN::Config` will tell you where the CPAN configuration file is. Editing the latter can change what directory is chosen on future module installs.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

You may need to set path for each user (or add it into the, if runnling *nix, .login or the equivalent file). More details here Have fun :-)	[reply]

Thanx for the reply. The link suggested by you mentions about using the perl modules installed in my home directory. My issue is that I have the perl modules installed by the root under /usr/opt. I want to use these perl modules only.	[reply]

One way is to have all your programs access the modules via pragmas of the following type: `#!/usr/bin/perl use lib "/usr/opt/<path-to-perlmodule-folder>";` [download] The other way is to specify the path in each user's .bashrc or .login which is called when you login like this (you can also make an entry in /etc/bash.bashrc or /etc/login.defs or equivalent files so that new users you add automatically get it into their login rc files). `export PERL5LIB=/usr/opt/<path-to-perl5-module-folder>` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
