Christopher, Chris, Rick:

Thanks for all your explanation and assistance.  You're right, it's very difficult to search for @INC in Google...   Anyway, the crux of the problem was that Perl 5.8.4 installed in /usr/local when Perl 5.6 was installed in /usr.  I re-ran ./Configure without the -de options and set the prefix to just "/usr" and it was amazing how many problems were cleared right up.

How does bash determine where to look for perl?  I removed it from /usr/local/bin, but bash kept looking there anyway until I re-added /usr/bin to the front of $PATH.

Also, does anyone know if there is a way to manually edit which folders @INC looks in?

for it and find useful information?
    

Run "perldoc perlvar" and search for INC for the formal definition.

It's hard to search on it much like it is hard to search for
information on the English words "the" or "of": too frequently *used*
to get reasonable searches on the definitions.
