Greetings I am trying to resolve a problem I had with the perl 5.8 that comes bundled with RedHat 9.0. It absolutely would not parse a regex the way it should, and so I downloaded a new tarball from CPAN and reloaded perl. RedHat puts perl in /usr/lib/perl5 rather than /usr/local/lib/perl5 and I let the installation use the default. RedHat also has a lot of dependancies on libperl.so and other components so it's not a simple matter to just change a path.
Installing perl from the CPAN tarball left the system thinking that @INC contains entries in the path /usr/local/lib/perl5. Reinstalling the rpm for perl from RedHat did not change it back to /usr/lib/perl5. make realclean in the build directory did not affect @INC. Nothing in the environment variables looks like it, and I can't find anything in the perl docs. How do I get things _really_ clean? Where does @INC live? I'd like to start over, keep the RedHat path, reload a new distribution over the top of it if the perl still has regex problems, and get on with what I need to do.
