@@ -223,11 +223,17 @@ For each directory in LIST (called $dir here) the lib module also
checks to see if a directory called $dir/$archname/auto exists.
If so the $dir/$archname directory is assumed to be a corresponding
architecture specific directory and is added to @INC in front of $dir.
+lib.pm also checks if directories called $dir/$version and $dir/$version/$archname
+exist and adds these directories to @INC.
The current value of C<$archname> can be found with this command:
perl -V:archname
+The corresponding command to get the current value of C<$version> is:
+
+ perl -V:version
+
To avoid memory leaks, all trailing duplicate entries in @INC are
removed.
