davidfilmer has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Masters,
I had to move perl (my own compile, not system perl) to a different directory (no choice, and no cheats like symlinks). Now @INC is all wrong, and lots of the perl package (such as the cpan script) have the old location on the shebang line. I googled around and saw people who said my only option is to recompile perl (and my boatload of modules, which are a pain in the neck to install on AIX). Surely I must have a better option!!! This is perl 5.12.1.
Your humble acolyte begs your indulgence.
