This question is about to be closed:

- https://askubuntu.com/questions/239975/perl-doesnt-include-directory

That's too bad, since:

- Perl scripting is a standard system administration technique and it doesn't make much sense to reject Perl questions unless there's reason to think they're not relevant to that. We keep `bash` scripting questions open, after all.

- In this situation, at least part of the problem appears to have to do with [where the user is installing stuff][1]. That's clearly on the system operation/administration side of the line.

- We can probably answer this, and Stack Overflow probably doesn't want it.

It's not that I think closing this question is an unusually great wrong. But if we can interpret and answer it in a way that's on-topic, we shouldn't be closing it.

(And if it's closed, we should reopen it.)

If it *turns out* nobody can answer it or the issue is sufficiently abstract or esoteric that it's not a good fit for Ask Ubuntu, *then* it can be closed. I see no reason not to give it at least a couple of days.
