[Bioperl-l] bioperl in jail

[Boris Steipe]

The path that perl uses internally to search its modules (@INC) is  
not the same thing as the path your shell uses. You have to modify  
@INC either within running scripts, or by setting the PERL5LIB  
environment variable upon login.

e.g. see http://modperlbook.org/html/ch03_09.html
