The problem is that I specify a dirname for the Global perl var on my httpd.conf and Apache::ASP fails to push it on @INC. This problem is circumvented if I create a global.asa file (even an empty one) in the directory I specify for the Global var. If I do this then the path is correctly pushed onto @INC. It took me a while to discover the global.asa trick. I think this is a bug because global.asa should always be optional on ASP apps. Other problem I found is that pushing another path onto @INC by way of "use lib $new_path;" doesn't work properly. The "use lib" is executed but it only modifies @INC the first time the script is executed, and is then ignored on succesive invocations of the same script on the same httpd process. The following script demonstrates the problem: ----------------------------------------------- <% use lib 'tmp'; $inc = join('<BR>', @INC); %> <P> <%= $inc %> ----------------------------------------------- If you reload it some ten times (depending on the number of servers your config spawns) you'll see that the modified @INC stops showing up.
