Hi all,

I have asked this many times but I've never really come across a
satisfactory solution so here goes...

How can Perl be configured so that the @INC array contains
/usr/local/lib/perl5 (because I want the admin user of a VS to be able
to install Perl modules and /usr/lib/perl5/... is a no-no because its
part of the skel.)

Ideally, I'd like Perl to look for modules in /usr/local/lib/perl5
first and then if they are not there, look in /usr/lib/perl5 (the
skel). Also, I recall that Perl (or CPAN?) keeps a log of installed
modules - is there any way to get it to use a file in
/usr/local/lib/perl5 so that the 'admin' user has write perms to it?

I know that you can add to @INC by running Perl like...

/usr/bin/perl -I /usr/local/lib/perl5

.. but it'll be a bit annoying for our customers to have to do this to
all their scripts

Is this all only possible with a recompile? (I hate Perl at the best
of times)  :(

Kind Regards,
