Hi

Thanks for any  help.
When I  try to  install Perl modules,  as a regular user, I  get  the following  message:
----------------example ---------------------------
plankton:>  cd DOWNLOAD_PERL/Filter-1.30
plankton:> /usr/local/perl5/bin/perl  Makefile.PL PREFIX=$HOME/PERL_PKG        
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Error: Unable to locate installed Perl libraries or Perl source code
------------
Maybe I  have to  edit my config.pm
Do you know where is is located ?

---------------Other info ---------------------------

Hello Herve.

I don't have time to read through your problem thoroughly but it did remind me of a previous thread:

http://www.wellho.net/cgi-bin/opentalk/YaBB.pl?board=perl;action=display;num=1098395997;start=

Dig deeper into the thread as its gets onto PATH settings and using CPAN as a non root user.

thanks
