Hello all,
I have been using MacPerl5.2.0r4 for years now. Always worked
fine, no bother! Recently I was trying some XML stuff and I had
to download the CPM package which in turn allowed me to download
and install the XML packages I needed.
Latter on, I was debugging a problem with HTTP::Date and finally
realised that the new version was not being called because of the
order of the "library module search" path. I should really have
adjusted the search path such that the "site_perl" folder is first.
Looking on the sun I also saw a number of packages appearing in
both the "lib" and "site_perl" directories. Again it appeared that
"site_perl" should perhaps come first in the path.
Whats the scoop!
where should I install new packages?
what is the "official position" on the setting of @INC
or... when should I place modules in site_perl vis lib
