Adding path to @INC for use with web server
Hi, Searching the archives I have been able to find out how to get Perl to search other paths for modules when invoked from the terminal or from GUI apps such as BBEdit, however I cannot get them recognised by cgi scripts. I read somewhere to add this line to httpd.conf PerlSetEnv PERL5LIB /sw/lib/perl5 However that doesn't seem to help I could just add use lib 'path'; to the top of each script, but these scripts will be moved to other OS's so I don't want to have to add lines for this purpose Any ideas on how to do this? Thanks adam -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

We recently discussed "Portability" on this list. If you want to write scripts that run on other systems then you have to accommodate that design goal with code. -- Bill Stephenson www.SecureShopper.com 1-417-546-5593 > From: Adam Witney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2002 11:09:38 +0100 > To: MacOS X perl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Adding path to @INC for use with web server > > Hi, > > Searching the archives I have been able to find out how to get Perl to > search other paths for modules when invoked from the terminal or from GUI > apps such as BBEdit, however I cannot get them recognised by cgi scripts.

Well yes, that¹s why I don't want to have local info, like where to look for modules, in my script. adam > We recently discussed "Portability" on this list.
