gwhite has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have setup a Slax OS with Perl 5.10 on a USB thumb drive. I boot to it, then run CPAN and on a large number of modules, but not all, while trying to install I get something along the line of:

t/test...Can't locate somedir/somemodule.pm in @INC (@INC contains:....very long list)

In the instances that I have manually monitored it will be something like Test/YAML.pm that fails (in other words a subdirectory/module name) that creates this error. And that file will not be in the location that CPAN thinks it should be.

I have Perl 5.8 on several other boxes and all is going well with these same modules, does anyone know is this a CPAN configuration problem, a Perl 5.10 issue or just a Slax problem.
