When ever I installed new modules it alway's installs them under my latest Perl installation [ 5.8.3 ], but now I have a need to compile a module against my old Perl, is there any documentation that describes how this can be done ?? > > I have added the following to ENV: > > PERL_INC=/usr/opt/perl5.old/lib/5.6.0/aix/CORE > PERL5LIB=/usr/opt/perl5.old/lib > > and still get the following error > > > Error: Unable to locate installed Perl libraries or Perl source code. > > It is recommended that you install perl in a standard location before > building extensions.

If you are doing the installation via CPAN or by doing perl Makefile.PL then you should be able to just make sure to point to the perl you want to be using and it should just Do the Right Thing. Try providing a full path to the correct perl and see if that helps. http://danconia.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
