When I try to install the CPAN module DBI on Mac Tiger, it fails even with force. When I scroll back through the output I find the following error message:

"Can't locate Data/Dumper.pm in @INC" (followed by a long list of directories.)


But I installed Data::Dumper with no problems.

I know what you're going to say: "It's not installed in one of the directories listed." Point well taken, but WHERE is it being installed, and where does this mysterious and bizarre @INC array get its paths in the first place, and how do I modify it? Please don't say "push, pop, shift, and,or unshift", because I've used those, but the @INC array has a non-persistence property when it comes to my directories, but is very stubbornly persistent about its own directories. Where does this array hide when I'm not using Perl?
