Hi,

I am quite a novice with mod downloads and I am trying to download the LWP mod. Of course, I want to make sure I do everything right. The mod in CPAN is version 5.805. So, I found a perl version in the server that is higher - 5.8.5. I placed the mod in /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.5

Besides the all too typical failures for lack of other mods, I was concerned about my @INC.

Part of the output states:

Can't locate URI.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/perl5/5.00503/sun4-solaris /usr/perl5/5.00503 /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.005/sun4-solaris /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.005 .) at Makefile.PL line 148, <STDIN> chunk 7.

Should I be concerned about @INC's paths? I don't know if perhaps version 5.85 falls back on a lower version for some reason. In fact, I don't know where @INC gets its values from. Is it defined for a given user? I kind of expected its paths to be at least partly determined by the version of perl I was using.

What should I do with @INC?

Thanks!

Tony
