@INC
How can I permanently add to @INC? I have 2 versions of perl installed and only use one of them. The reason for 2 versions is a port system that refuses to rely on the already installed perl. So I have: $ /usr/bin/perl -e 'print join(\n, @INC)' /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6 /Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.8.6 /Library/Perl /Network/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Network/Library/Perl/5.8.6 /Network/Library/Perl /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.6 /Library/Perl/5.8.1 AND $ /opt/local/bin/perl -e 'print join(\n, @INC)' /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7/darwin-2level /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7 /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/darwin-2level /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7 /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/darwin-2level /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7 /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl I really only want to use /usr/bin/perl, but the port system will put modules into the /opt/local/bin/perl version which I want to use from /usr/bin/perl. Thanks!

The reason for 2 versions is a port system that refuses to rely on the already installed perl. Try setting the PERL5LIB environment variable. It's formatted like a $PATH for perl. I set it in $HOME/.MacOSX/environment.plist so that it works when initiated from a Cocoa or Carbon application. You may have a problem with incompatibility of stuff in an @INC area that demands another version of perl. That's why the ports don't attempt to mix things up. -- -- Science is the business of discovering and codifying the rules and methods employed by the Intelligent Designer.

Re: @INC
The other perl was installed by darwinports. It doesn't ask questions. If it did, I wouldn't install it. I'm not concerned about incompatibilities as the perl versions are so close. I could reconfigure darwinports, but I don't want to. So this isn't a solution to my issue. Thanks though.

Finding the current user
I know I can get this with `whoami`, but I was wondering if there was a Perl way to find the user who executed the script. I basically want to make it so my script is executable by normal users, but prints an error if it is not only the root user. -- Thanks, James Reynolds University of Utah Student Computing Labs [EMAIL PROTECTED] 801-585-9811

I suggest you configure your Darwinports anyway. Thanks though.
