in thread How does the Perl choose between lib and lib64?

...then somebody tries to access it from another machine, where the same Perl looks for "lib64" - it's a disaster...

Wait what other machine?

Yes, what you describe sounds like a disaster indeed

You should stick with one perl, and other perls shouldn't be trying to load other perls modules

If you want to share modules between machines, compiled with the same version of perl... , see

So I used to write my modulefiles with both "lib" and "lib64", so the PERL5LIB value becomes twice as long as it should be - it doesn't look right

Looks are overrated :| see sitecustomize in perlrun
