I am trying to install LWP::Simple, and MIME::Base64, on my dedicated server that run red hat Linux 7.1 OS. I installed them as root by manually going to /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0 created the directories for these modules, set permissions to 755, and then uploaded the .pm packages in the proper places. I know this is not how CPAN says to install modules. But I have installed some when I was using a shared server, and was installing them this way on my own web space, and it worked fine. I don't think that the approach I took to install is the cause of my problems, but I am no expert. Anyway my problem is that for user accounts, other than root and admin, that I created before I installed these new modules, when I go to /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0 at the user account shell I do not see the directory "LWP", and "MIME" that I created. Perl still complains about "Simple.pm" not found in @INC when I try to run my script. I can see the new directories and modules, when I go to the directory as user admin, and root. Do user accounts use a seperate partition for the Perl directories ?
