I put BEGIN { push @INC, '/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/cygwin-multi', , '/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1' , '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/cygwin-multi' , '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1' , '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl' , '.' , '/usr/bin/perl' ; } in an old 5.6.1 program and it seems to find the modules OK. Now I have to decide whether to start installing modules again in the new places, or revert back to 5.6.1 and wait for the official release. -- Greg Matheson Teaching: leaving greasy Chinmin College fingerprints over the tabula rasa.
