SPUG:Perllocal.mod

[Myhre, Julie]

Hello,

This is a re-post as I was not yet a member when I first sent this out....
As a recently hired sysadmin, I have been newly dumped into the perl world, and one of my developer coworkers noticed perllocal.pod sitting in /.

The little I know about this file is that it should live in $INSTALLARCHLIB (which evidently wasn't defined at compile time) and that it is meant simply to log the modules installed with MakeMaker.  I've also read some people's opinions of perllocal.mod - it isn't useful, doesn't track actual updates....

But:  is it necessary?  Can I delete it or should I just move it to a better place (and define the env. variable $INSTALLARCHLIB)?

Thanks for any info you can give on this naïve question!
