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.

In any case it's not better for that reason. Sharing pure Perl modules
by including those directories in the @INC of the new version would not
have affected the way the old Perl version works..

I would love to share the modules between these two versions too, but
when I try this "use Carp; use lib '/usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8';" in
perl-5.10 , I got the error below. The errors are so scary, maybe
still better I reinstall all. Even when I reinstalled all I still
getting few errors until I use 'recompile' in CPAN command.

/usr/sbin/apache2: symbol lookup error:
/usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8/auto/Storable/Storable.so: undefined symbol:
Perl_Tstack_sp_ptr
/usr/sbin/apache2: symbol lookup error:

/usr/sbin/apache2: symbol lookup error:
/usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8/auto/Storable/Storable.so: undefined symbol:
Perl_Tstack_sp_ptr

Note that it's the /site_perl directories that contain pure Perl modules.

Recently I installed Perl 5.10.0, and this is what my @INC looks like:

$ perl -e 'print "$_\n" for @INC'
/usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/i686-linux
/usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/i686-linux
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl
.
$

As you can see, the path /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.1 is not included, but
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1 is. That makes the pure Perl modules from
my previous version (5.8.1) available to 5.10.0, while the compiled
5.8.1 modules are not seen.

OTOH, as you said that you have reinstalled all the modules, why do you
keep bothering?

Thanks, I thought I have installed all the modules from generated autobundle file of cpan, but until I run my code, I notice it does not installed all the modules especially the XS module. And now I am having big problem building the module Language::Prolog::Yaswi . That problem is on my next post. Sigh...
