Case is relevent in Perl and \s aren't portable, so use /s whenever possible. The \' is invalid syntax at the end of the use lib. You need to double the last \ to \\ if you insist on using \s or removing it would be better yet. use lib '\web_test\scripts\common'; # should work use lib '/web_test/scripts/common'; # better require 'header.pl'; Generally, I never use a \ or / at the of a path - it problematic and makes it harder to do stuff like : my $newpath = "$path/$file"; # better to add the / yourself when needed like this > For portability reason (I have also "web_production"), I tried to assign > a scalar varible to the part of the path, such as > > Our $BASE_PATH = '\web_test\'; > Use lib $BASE_PATH.'scripts\common\'; > Require 'header.pl'; Try: our $BASE_PATH = '/web_test'; push @INC, "$BASE_PATH/scripts/common"; require 'header.pl'; > First way works just fine, but second does not.
