Installed "xx:yy" (on OS/X) but it's not there

locked_user sundialsvc4 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

After using CPAN (on OS/X) to install Probe::Perl, it’s not there. It appears to have installed into lib/perl5/Probe/Perl.pm (in a directory on the PERL5LIB path), but it seems that nothing in that directory can be USEd.

Okay, so I am sure I futzed-up a CPAN directive someplace. But, which one? In other words, what is going to prompt what is looked-for in a library path?

(My brain is empty|full today ... I had to stomach a really rotten Apple for the last three weeks.) ... but that’s another story ...

Command example: PERL5LIB=~/Sites/cpan_libraries perl -e 'use IPC::Run3;' (or anything else)
gives: Can't locate IPC/Run3.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /Users/hi_mom/Sites/cpan_libraries /Library/Perl/Updates/5.10.0 ...

OS/X Snow Leopard; Perl 5.10.0.

It appears to have installed into lib/perl5/Probe/Perl.pm (in a directory on the PERL5LIB path), but it seems that nothing in that directory can be USEd. If the file is located at `/foo/lib/perl5/Probe/Perl.pm`, You need to add `/foo/lib/perl5` to `PERL5LIB`. Adding `/foo` is useless as far as finding this module is concerned.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

(Sorry about being anonymous. Maybe PerlMonks is having a bad day too.) You would think that the name of the environment variable ... woulda ... bena ... widdle ... biddy ... cloo... `:-/` Caution: Do not put Perl in motion without brain in gear.

If you are using `set PERL_MB_OPT=--install_base /home/user/stuff set PERL_MM_OPT=INSTALL_BASE=/home/user/stuff` [download] then you need `set PERL5LIB=/home/user/stuff/lib/perl5` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Blink... Nev - er mind - d - d ... (Man, that Apple was really rotten. My mind is going... I can feel it, Dave ... I can feel it.) (As noted, the `PERL5LIB` setting is needed and it is incorrect.)	[reply]
