    I see....

    yes, when I run:

    /usr/bin/perl -e 'use CGI ; print $INC{"CGI.pm"}."\n" ; '

    (the path following shebang of the script) instead of

    perl -e 'use CGI ; print $INC{"CGI.pm"}."\n" ; '

    I get the same include path as the script.

    I have another copy of perl in /opt/local/bin (the first entry in my PATH). Not sure why, unless Darwin Ports put it in there when I installed it (Mac OS X system)

    Installed CGI using: 
    /usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL

    Now it finds it. Of course I see now that the output when running the install commands told me where it was installed all along. So clear now in hindsight.

    My thanks to all the patient and helpful monks - so much about computing I don't know. Thanks for the links.
