After I did the install.  my @INC for the new perl =

  @INC:
    /opt/perl/lib/5.8.4/i686-linux
    /opt/perl/lib/5.8.4
    /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.4/i686-linux
    /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.4
    /opt/perl/lib/site_perl

Is there anyway in the Configure or the install that I could have had the 
default search include the old @INC of:

  @INC:
    /etc/perl
    /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.4
    /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.4
    /usr/lib/perl5
    /usr/share/perl5
    /usr/lib/perl/5.8
    /usr/share/perl/5.8
    /usr/local/lib/site_perl


Or do I just need to alter my PERL5LIB all the time?

thanks
Jay
