What about user? You clearly have different configurations for the different sessions, the question is why. I've seen two different user names appear in the @INC and use lib paths you you've posted to the group. My suspicion is that you've installed the module as one user, but then tried to run the script as another. since you're installing the modules to local directories as an unprivileged user rather than the to global perl /lib directories as a superuser, you're having path and permissions issues. It also appears that you have installed the Algorithm::Permute module for the default Perl 5.8.5 installation on your machine, but your problematic scripts are invoking an Active State Perl 5.6 that you have installed in a non-standard location. If you're going to use multiple versions of Perl on the same machine, you need to be very careful about choosing the right combination of interpreters and modules for each script.
