Yes, my question was about how to install my OWN modules and ur explanation worked very well... one more Question :
U said,If I created a directory in /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl named > 'Foo/' and in that directory I put a file named 'Bar.pm', then I could use > that module by doing: > use Foo::Bar; it worked very well But if i want to have my module(say, same as above) in /usr/home/rahul/ instead of /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl then how i can put that directory in @INC...what then exacly i have to do..
