Thanks, but, didn't think i was a beginner... this is more of a mod_perl question because I'm aware of how to set @INC etc for normal perl scripts. Anyway I tried your advice, but, from perldoc perlvar:
$] The use of this variable is deprecated and for $^V: Use of uninitialized value at blah.pl line 7. So are you forced to use the version of perl that was chosen when mod_perl was installed? Guess so, am trying to do a local non-root install of apache and mod_perl to see if this is so.
