We are testing a new Linux server running RHEL7 and Perl5. My Perl program (code snippet below) dies on the 'use SSSourceOrg' line (code snippet also below). This is a home-grown module as is Syslog. The difference I found between Syslog and SSSourceOrg is that Syslog has 1 function and SSSourceOrg has multiple functions. The error is "Can't locate SSSourceOrg.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib64/perl5...)". The module isn't and shouldn't be part of @INC and it does exist in my PERL5LIB path. I changed SSSourceOrg.pm so that it now has only 1 function and I changed the perl program so the use line is just 'use SSSourceOrg;' and the program gets by the line successfully and dies on the next line. I'm not a Perl developer so I'm hoping that someone else has run into this problem and can tell me how to fix it without changing all of our modules to be single-function.
