Re: add @INC directory

Hello, I have just upgrade my perl-5.8.8 to perl-5.10 , this new perl

version because of many uninstalled module, should reinstalled all
the modules that I need into the new perl directory or make my new
perl @INC to include the @INC of the old perl ?

If appending the directory of old perl @INC to new perl @INC would
just fine, how can I configure the @INC of new perl PERMANENTLY ?
Other than using "use lib @DIR" ? I thought of using "export
PER5LIB=...." , but not sure how to make it permanently all the time?

You should have read the Install file before installing the new version.
All your questions are answered there; see in particular
http://search.cpan.org/~rgarcia/perl-5.10.0/INSTALL#Coexistence_with_earlier_versions_of_perl_5

You may now want to recompile perl to get the @INC you want.

Thanks, I have read more than half of it, but I am just too haste especially for slow reader, lol. I have reinstalled all the modules of old perl into new perl. Maybe it's better, in case I would need the perl 5.8.8 again.

Thanks.
