in thread Activestate Perl module upgrade assistance

uh no - on AS Perl 5.8.4 @INC = 'xxx/lib', 'xxx/site/lib'; on AS Perl 5.8.8 @INC = 'xxx/site/lib', 'xxx/lib'; I had unproductive fun because of that :D

    Ok, that's true for releases before 5.8.8 build 818 or so. In Perl 5.8.8 ActivePerl switched to PPM4 which allowed updating core modules by putting them into site/lib, so the order of directories in @INC had to be changed to make this sane.

    Generally I try to pretend that Perl versions less than 5.8.8 do not exist anymore. Sometimes I even succeed. :)
