[rt-users] mod_perl rpm and perl 5.8.4

Tue Jul 6 17:32:25 EDT 2004

As suspected, my perl does the Right Thing as well, and the 5.6.1 dirs 
are not in my @INC. Could it be that both the apache and/or mod_perl 
rpms were likely compiled to look at the 5.6.1 rpm? If this is true, 
what do I need to recompile?
