[rt-users] Stupid Admin (me) problem

[Sheeri Kritzer]

Rob,

I've gotten that message many, many times when dealing with PErl stuff.
You really don't want to modify @INC.  IT's really just easier to copy,
move or reinstall the modules.  Really, at least for RT, it only takes a
few hours, 1 workday tops, and if you've been on it a week already, just
reinstall the darn modules to the right dir.
