After many years of installing my own version of Perl next to the system installed version, I'm now trying to be a good boy and just use the system installed versions of Perl / Apache / mod_perl2 etc. But, as I'm now more restricted, I need some questions answered. Perl -V gives me for @INC .... @INC: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl At present, I've only installed libs from adept and everything resides in /usr/lib /usr/share etc. Now to the start of my problems. YAML and Test::YAML have been installed by default as I can't remember installing them. But Test::YAML uses Test::Base which isn't installed and doesn't appear in adept. What's a poor boy to do in this instance, and future instances like this? If I search for YAML in adept, I only get libconfig-yaml-perl, libtemplate-plugin-yaml and lib-yaml-perl (installed) How do I make my own packages to install? I don;t mind using CPAN to install (makes my life a zillion times easier) but I'm trying to be good and keep the system in check. Why is /usr/local/lib /usr/local/share before /usr/lib /usr/share etc. in @INC. that, I find v strange. Or, is it to allow me to use CPAN and install my own stuff in there? If that's the case, there's a big chance of duplicating packages. So, who does what out there?
