in reply to Can't locate AMOS/AmosLib.pm in @INC

...and don't see the directory I inserted into the PERL5LIB

Did you run the Perl script from the same shell where you exported PERL5LIB?

    yes

      Well, if this is true, your perl is broken :)  Or your script resets @INC.  Or your script runs in taint mode (-T).  Or you showed the wrong error message in your OP.

      Items in PERL5LIB should otherwise always appear in the reported @INC:

      $ PERL5LIB=/foo/bar perl -MNot::Exist -e1 Can't locate Not/Exist.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /foo/bar /etc/perl / +usr/local/lib/perl/5.14.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2 /usr/lib/perl5 + /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.14 /usr/share/perl/5.14 /usr/local/ +lib/site_perl .). BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

      As you can see, /foo/bar has been added to @INC.

        Problem solved. Perl was downloaded twice on my computer. With one perl @INC can find the .pm after the export.
