From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: Use CPAN to install a new perl module. It will put it in the following path: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/ARCH-linux-thread-multi/ but this path is not in @INC; so none of the custom modules can actually be used. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): perl-5.8.0-55 and Redhat 8.0 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: (as root) perl -MCPAN -e shell; CPAN> install Xmms (be certain that both xmms and xmms-devel are installed) [wait and then exit CPAN] Actual Results: $ perl -MXmms Can't locate Xmms.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i686-linux /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i686-linux /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1 /usr/lib/perl5 .). Expected Results: No path error Additional info: Send email if you have any questions. This pretty much makes CPAN useless, and it works just fine with a normal installation of perl.
Ahh, perl-5.8.0-55 wasn't compiled with thread support, so of course this won't work.
