Morning Fellow Monks,

I had an old laptop lying around and decided to install Debian Woody on it and have it periodically run some perl scripts. When I moved my scripts over, LWP wasn't installed, so I went through the usual process and though everything seems fine to me, perl refuses to acknowledge that LWP/UserAgent.pm is in my @INC (contains: /usr/local/lib/perl/5.6.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.6.1. /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.6.1 ...)

Navigating around, I found that /usr/lib/perl/5.6.1/LWP/ exists and was populated with the correct files. Initially I thought perhaps it was screwed up permissions, but after changing it around, I still have nothing.

Please monks, help a frustrated user out. Sorry if it seems like such a simple question, but it just doesn't seem to make sense since I can clearly see that the files are where perl would look for them, yet the script doesn't work
