# which perl   --> /usr/bin/perl

anotheranne at Pandora:~$ PERL5LIB=""        # I just unset it so
anotheranne at Pandora:~$ echo $PERL5LIB
					  # blank output so unset
anotheranne at Pandora:~$ perl -V
Can't locate Config.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /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 .).
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
anotheranne at Pandora:~$

obviously if I have $PERL5LIB set, then the output is much greater with all sorts of stuff re perl, with it unset all you get is what is shown above.

bestest
Anne
