How do I change the INC path? Or do I create the /root/perl5 folders, and chmod 755
You mention earlier that "The Fedora installation does set PERL5LIB to /root/perl5", to which I would reply, no it doesn't, not by default. what I suspect you are doing is being logged in as root, and in root's /root/.bashrc or similar, it sets PERL5LIB to $HOME/perl5. Then you are doing su user rather than su - user, and so inheriting root's environment. Note that /root is the root user's home directory; a non-root user should *not* be accessing anything under /root.

So in summary, your PERL5LIB environment variable shouldn't be set; find out how its being set, and stop it.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
