As I've pointed out on perlmonks where you cross-posted your question, http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1080639 In perl 5.18.0 onwards, perl stops and reports an error if it can't read the next directory in the search path, because it has no way of telling whether the module exists or not in that directory, and therefore you'll run into issues of perl picking up the wrong version of module. I.e. better to nosily fail and force you to fix your @INC path and/or permissions, than for perl to load a possibly older, buggier version of a module and silently continue. -- A walk of a thousand miles begins with a single step... then continues for another 1,999,999 or so. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
