Paul, I do not believe it is a good idea to delete a module in the module tree. There are (several?) lists of modules stored somewhere in the lib directory.
I am not really sure how you have 2 different File.pm - I have only 1 under the site_perl directory. Did you build Perl from source, or install via a RPM or binary distro? ----------------- Ron Reidy Lead DBA Array BioPharma, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 06, 2005 8:00 AM To: dbi-users Subject: RE: Installing DBD::File via CPAN Hi everyone, After a little tracking down I realized what's happening, but I can't quite pick out why. There are two versions of DBD::File in my tree one at: /db2blast/Paul/perl5.8.7/lib/site_perl/5.8.7/aix/DBD (v0.33) and one at /db2blast/Paul/perl5.8.7/lib/site_perl/5.8.7/DBD (v0.34) This was a fresh build of perl, and all modules were updated/installed via the CPAN module so I wasn't expecting to get myself confused with multiple versions like so. Any ideas where I may have gone wrong? Or, for that matter, am I safe just deleting File.pm from the aix subdirectory?
