This is only useful if a script does specifically use perl-5.004. And this shouldn't happen at the present time. If someone installs perl-5.005 on his machine, then all scripts that use /usr/bin/perl will use perl-5.005 and the Data::Dumper module will be found. And as long as perl-5.005 is not installed, data-dumper will not be removed so perl scripts using /usr/bin/perl as perl-5.004 will still have data-dumper. > 2) We need to add /usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.004 to perl-5.004's path. > Otherwise, the various modules that are compiled and installed under > the non-versioned Perl won't work. Yes for the transition it may be useful. I also noted that ARCHLIB is present twice in @INC (one time at the beginning and one time at the end), I wonder how this happened : $ perl-5.004 -e '$"="\n"; print "@INC"' /usr/lib/perl5/5.004/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.004 /usr/local/lib/site_perl/i386-linux /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/lib/perl5/5.004/i386-linux Cheers, -- Hertzog Raphaël >> 0C4CABF1 >> http://prope.insa-lyon.fr/~rhertzog/
