Re: @INC -I flag and architecture dependant subdirectory

So is this a deliberate change in the behaviour of the -I flag

I doubt it. -I includes the arch dir with Perl 5.12.2 (if present).

Thanks, So this is not normal. It is definitely occuring for us with 64 bit perl 5.8.8 running on Red Hat EL5. I think our perl comes from the default perl rpm which comes with Red Hat. Unfortunately we are not in a position to try other versions. We do not see this issue with perl 5.10 running on Ubuntu. Anyway, we have discovered a workaround. While `perl -IDIR` does not "work" (include the arch dirs), it does "work" if we change out shell scripts to use `perl -mlib=DIR` Thanks again for your feedback	[reply] [d/l] [select]
