using modules

Hi all,

Quick question. I've got a Perl program that runs fine from my account at
work, but when someone else copies it and tries to run it from their
account, or when I telnet to another machine and try to run it, it doesn't
work. The error is something to the effect..."Can't find loadable object
in Term::Readkey".

At the top of my script I have

use lib "/acct/mjo1234/perllib";

and below I have

use Term::ReadKey;

I can't understand why this wouldn't work when I telnet to another machine.
Could it be the PERL5LIB environmental variable? Any feedback would be
highly appreciated. Thank you.

Matt

Do other people have search access to this directory?

Is this directory the same on the other machine you telnet to?

I have permissions wide open. However I think the problem may be stemming
from the @INC array. It appears that the default search path for typical
users is /opt/perl5.005_03/lib. However, many moons ago when I was a Perl
newbie, I complained to my system admins about how they took Perl/Tk out of
the latest production install of Perl. So, their solution was to point my
account at /opt/perl/lib/aix/5.00404. Consequently, I think there is a
module that is being found in my search path and not in the other search
path.
