Hi to all,

I have the follwing, simplest per cgi script:

use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI();
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

use Template;

print CGI::header();

foreach(@INC) {
    print "$_\n";
}

When called (http://[..]/cgi-bin/p.cgi) I am given the following error:

Can't locate Template.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 .) at /home/pistacchio/webapps/htdocs/cgi-bin/p.cgi line 8.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/pistacchio/webapps/htdocs/cgi-bin/p.cgi line 8.

I made sure that Template is installed and indeed when running this program from shell it works (loads Template) and outputs:

Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1

/home/pistacchio/lib/perl5
/home/pistacchio/lib/perl5/lib/i386-linux-thread-multi
/home/pistacchio/lib/perl5/lib
/home/pistacchio/lib/perl5/lib/i386-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8

/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8

Template is installed in /home/pistacchio/lib/perl5/lib/i386-linux-thread-multi

[pistacchio@web118 i386-linux-thread-multi]$ pwd
/home/pistacchio/lib/perl5/lib/i386-linux-thread-multi
[pistacchio@web118 i386-linux-thread-multi]$ ls
auto  perllocal.pod  Template  Template.pm

This directory is correctly listed in env and, as previously posted, in @INC. In @INC it is shown twice, so I even tried to pop it out before calling use Template, but without result. From env:

[pistacchio@web118 i386-linux-thread-multi]$ env
[..]
PERL5LIB=/home/pistacchio/lib/perl5:/home/pistacchio/lib/perl5/lib:/home/pistacchio/lib/perl5/lib/i386-linux-thread-multi
[..]

Removing use Template gets rid of the problem.

Can anybody help?
