note- the results i get from a script running under mod_perl is slightly
different, but 5.6.1 is indeed first. (this is the output of @INC)
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1
/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux
/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl
i may have misunderstood- were you recommending that i actually delete
these 5.6.0 directories, and symlink them over to the 5.6.1 equivs?
