@INC strangeness

[R McGlue]

error as follows

bash-2.03$ ./!!
../spamstats0.6a.pl -help
Can't locate Compress/Zlib.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/perl5/5.00503/sun4-so
laris /usr/perl5/5.00503 /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.005/sun4-solaris
/usr/perl5/site
_perl/5.005 .) at ./spamstats0.6a.pl line 155.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./spamstats0.6a.pl line 155.

so it cant find what its lookin for even though i have installed it


bash-2.03$ perl -e "print join(\"\n\", @INC);"
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/sun4-solaris
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/sun4-solaris
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl
bash-2.03$


why is it still looking at the eralier version of perl in /usr/bin/perl
as oppossed to usr/local/bin given by

bash-2.03$ which perl
/usr/local/bin/perl
bash-2.03$ perl -v

This is perl, v5.6.1 built for sun4-solaris

Well, you didn't provide any code, so there's no way to be sure, but I'd
be willing to bet your shebang line in spamstats0.6a.pl is
#!/usr/bin/perl
instead of
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
