[Slashcode-general] Can't locate DBIx/Password.pm in @INC

[Mike B. <ko...@mi...>]

Attempting to install Slash 2.0.0 via RPM

1) Downloaded slash rpm
2) Got MySQL running; created virtual user slash@localhost
3) Got Apache/mod_perl running (I think)
4) Ran CPAN and installed Bundle::Slash and DBIx::Password

Actually, also had to CPAN install mysql before DBIx::Password.

And even more to the point, I did a bad thing by installing CPAN::Perl
before I did any of this (and told it my architecture was i586...).

I now have Perl 5.6.0 installed in /usr/lib/perl5/  and Perl 5.6.1 installed
in /usr/local/lib/perl5 (arch i586...).

Uh oh.

So the install Bundle::Slash and install DBIx::Password went into the 5.6.1
libraries in /usr/local/lib/perl5.

/usr/local/slash/bin> ./install-slashsite slash@localhost gives following
errors:

Can't locate DBIx/Password.pm in @INC (@INC contains:

Ah, so brilliant guy that I am, I change the first line of install-slashsite
to:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w

Ooops, all the Perl modules for Slashcode were installed by the RPM into
5.6.0.  Tried to erase the package and reinstall, goes back into the 5.6.0
directories (even though "which perl" shows /usr/local/bin/perl so @INC
should have pointed to the 5.6.1 libraries, right?

Is there any way to get out of this short of formatting the system and
reinstalling RH7.0 (short of rebuilding the slash rpm)???  If so, how?
