Description Keith Edmunds 2002-11-01 05:35:54 UTC

First off: I am not a Perl person, so this may show Perl ignorance. I have been
trying to install various Perl modules (File-MMagic Config-IniFiles MIME-tools
Convert-TNEF Convert-UUlib Compress-Zlib Archive-Tar IO-stringy MailTools
MIME-Base64) and they emerge fine. However, the modules do not appear to be in
@INC and require softlinks to work: cd /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1;
ln -s /usr/lib/site_perl/5.6.1/Config and so on.

Even after doing that the application I was working with (amavis, not installed
from ebuild) complained that it couldn't find the .so files (I forget how Perl
refers to them). 

Installing CPAN from the CPAN archives, and then using that to install all the
Perl modules required worked without a problem.
