Somehow I missed Anton's response, so I'm copying it here so I can respond
as well.

I'm working on a port upgrade, and I'm copying some perl modules to

include
the new path? (I have USE_PERL= yes in the Makefile.) Is there a
script
I have to run? Is there an ldconfig for perl?
In theory, one might set environment variable PERLLIB or PERL5LIB. This
won't work for scripts that run with euid and ruid that differ.
Alternatively, the scripts using the modules in a non-standard location
must
be modified to "use lib qw(/path)", which modifies @INC.
I can certainly do that, by patching the scripts.
Alternatively, Perl itself needs to be recompiled with new paths.
Probably a bad choice for a port. :-)
Alternatively, you need to figure out whether you can place the modules
into
a standard location. It looks like you are trying to do that, but clearly
you are doing something wrong. What are the names of the modules and
their
packages?
Here's the hierarchy:

And yes, the two subdirs contained identically named modules but they are
different. (IOW, the code is not identical.)
After checking the scripts, all of them refer to Bro::Module except one.
So I can put that one module (IP4.pm) in /mach and solve the problem that
way. The others appear to be correctly coded.
