The RPMs that OpenPKG creates are relocatable, but Perl is a bit of a special beast. The Perl interpreter has compiled-in paths that it searches for modules, and these will be somewhere under the directory you specified when bootstrapping OpenPKG (e.g. /openpkg/lib/perl). Run "perl -V" to see where its looking. But you can use the environment variable PERL5LIB to cause Perl to search other directories in addition to the compiled-in paths. -- Caleb Epstein
