You have a bigger problem in that you are living on borrowed time with a 10 year-old version of perl that even if it were not custom, is no longer supported. At any moment something could cause this to stop working. You can't just freeze your whole environment, as evidenced by the fact that you are trying to make a change to @INC already. Tell us more about what you mean by "only works with the customized version of perl" as in, what "not working" looks like. Activestate used to distribute perl binaries that had @INC compiled in as long placeholder strings that their installation tool then modified for the local installation. So theoretically you could edit the binary to replace the paths with anything the same length or shorter. As if you weren't out on a long enough limb already. -- Peter Scott http://www.perlmedic.com/ http://www.perldebugged.com/ http://www.informit.com/store/product.aspx?isbn=0137001274 http://www.oreillyschool.com/certificates/perl-programming.php -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
