in reply to @INC array and two perl versions

Why are /opt/zmanda/amanda/perl/lib/5.8.8 and /opt/zmanda/amanda/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.8 even in @INC? You must have added them (manually) in some way. Note that they appear twice in the @INC for perl 5.8.8.

I am guessing somebody added them to the environment variable PERL5LIB, or something equivalent (for example: direct use of use lib). Don't do that: when lib adds a directory to @INC, it'll also add version dependent subdirectories. That goes for the contents of PERL5LIB, too.

That's most likely why they appear twice for 5.8.8.

    Awesome! Works now!
    However, PERL5LIB was not set in my environment.But when I run 8.pl(which has #!/opt/zmanda.... /perl shebang) PERL5LIB starts having those two paths. How did that happen? The 5.8.8 perl was compiled that way? Update Opps I forgot to mention what fixed it. Just before calling 10.pl, I unset PERL5LIB env variable.
