Hi Rob, Thanks for your reply; it led me to an insight I was lacking. I was not making a distinction between using a module that is somewhere in @INC, and a module that has been successfully installed. I think the solution for me lies in Ch. 2 of Intermediate Perl (2nd ed.), I just have to try a few variations until I get it to work.
