As of a few days ago, a completely up2date'd Rh7.2 system.
Up until a week ago, I haven't touched the perl installation of this distro.
A week ago, when a user tried to run a perl program, the program reported it
couldn't find Tk.pm. Hmm, that seemed weird.
No biggie, I'll just load a Tk bundle from CPAN.
So, as root, I entered the perl shell (perl -MCPAN -e shell) and issued th=
e=20
command to load Tk (install Bundle::Tk). It loaded Tk, and asked to update
some other stuff, so I went into do it yourself mode (fully automated), and
let 'er rip. Twenty-five minutes later, everything was done, and all tests
past.
Now, the user's running of the perl program still can't find Tk, but root h=
as
no trouble running the program.
A little investigation reveals that there are (now ?) 2 versions of perl on
the system. root, which did the Tk (and others) install/update is seeing
/usr/bin/perl part of the Rh original install (it has an Aug 9 2001 date), =
and
can 'see' Tk.pm, while the users see /usr/local/bin/perl which has a date of
Feb 6, 2002, but can't see Tk.pm.
More details below.
Well, I'm not sure what to do at this point.
Which is the "proper" perl version? and location?
And while having 2 perls is OK, as long as there is a "good reason" to have=
2,
I'd at least like to have root and all users looking at the same perl and h=
ave
the same values in @INC. We can call the unofficial one manually.
Suggestions on how to proceed?
Thank you.
