You can use lib to include other perl modules. I'm currently using IIS5 on
Win2k, with PerlEx. I've done similar things on Unix with Apache. You may
need to tweek this a little depending upon your platfor.
Say your .cgi's are all located in, /cgi-bin/, and your modules are located
in /cgi-bin/mylib/, and you want to access, /cgi-bin/mylib/MyModule.pm.
Then in the top of your cgi, with all of your other use statements, put:
use lib 'mylib';
use MyModule;
The "use lib 'mylib';" adds the mylib directory to your @INC.
If we happen to have a cgi in a different branch of the directory structure,
we can still get to our library modules. For example: /cgi-bin/mylib/
contains all our modules; /other-cgis/ contains some separate cgis. To get
to our modules from /other-cgis/ using lib:
use lib '../cgi-bin/mylib/';
use MyModule;
Hope this helps.
Good luck,
Ember

Hello,
I have also dealt with providing my own
support, beyond what my ISP was giving me
to do my webiste with.
...and I used the -I command line option of Perl to
add to @INC.
This works in the #! line of a CGI script, as in:
#!/usr/bin/perl -I/web/king/chahn/cgi-bin/perl
use Astro::MoonPhase; <---My ISP did not have this ready.
(I needed to use a SSI to stuff the phase of the moon
into a clock website)
Good luck,
Christopher
