I have added RedHat linux as a boot alternative to Win 2k. Of course, the stability of linux is superb but I am not yet accustomed to compiling every single thing I need that is not pre-installed. As far as perl, I would like to permanently add /usr/local/lib/perl to @INC without specifically having to unshift or push this path onto @INC from every script that references a package contained beneath /usr/local/lbi/perl. What is the easiest way to accomplish this? Thanks. MThread Next
