Hi,

we have a unix server that has one user account called prod07, shared by multiple groups. There is an existing perl 5.6.0 installation that has the home/dir/.cpan directory existing there with references to this 5.6 install.

There is also a perl 5.8.9 installation in another directory under this user account. When I try to run the CPAN-shell for perl 5.8.9, the builds keep referring to all the perl 5.6 include dirs and installdirs. I've even run the 'o conf install_dir=a/b/c ' etc.. commands but no avail.

How can I create and use a separate .cpan/Config.pm for the perl 5.8.9 (under the same user) somewhere else that is not in the user Home/dir so I can install perl 5.8.9 modules into perl 5.8.9 libpaths and not corrupt the perl 5.6.1 libpaths ?
