Sorry to bug you all, and i appologize for my "level" of expertise and questions regarding all this, but here is my silly question of the day: But i have the need to update/modify my @INC, which currently includes the following: @INC = /usr/lib/perl5/5.00502/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.00502 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 Some perl modules have installed under ../i386-linux-thread that i believe i want to include in the @INC. What is the best way to add that directory to the array? I know i can do it with a use () or require () but i would like to do this in a general way, in such that a perl -V would give me that directory. I have read much of the documentation for perl, mod_perl, and embperl and have seen a few ways to do this on the fly but not quite the way i want it to work - in other words i would like the additional directories to always be included in the @INC. Any suggestions and advice would be greatly appreciated. Regards -- Michael B.
