Re: perl -V in 5.8.8 doesn't add architecture dependent directories?

I've got two systems and one with 5.8.0 and another with 5.8.8

in 5.8.0 perl -V includes architecture dependent directories added to
site_perl where as 5.8.8 doesn't

did this behaviour change in after 5.8.0?

so on 5.8.8 I have to explicitly add the arch directories in PERL5LIB
where as in 5.8.0 I don't.

The only time I ever saw anything like this behavior was when I
installed ActiveState 5.8.8 on a Windows system that already had
ActiveState 5.6.1 installed, and had a PERL5LIB environment variable
already set. I eventually discovered that if I made sure that variable
was NOT set when installing Perl, everything worked fine and I got the
site libs in perl -V.

It's hard to tell if this has anything to do with your problem, but it
might give you a direction to look in.
