Addition of directory to @INC variable via startup script/mod_perl

[Jason Jolly]

I currently have the following 
configuration in my httpd.conf file:

 PerlRequire 
/usr/local/apache/conf/startup.pl Alias /perl/ 
/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin PerlTaintCheck 
On PerlWarn 
On PerlFreshRestart On 
PerlTransHandler Apache::SessionManager PerlFreshRestart 
On

 Location 
/perl SetHandler 
perl-script PerlSendHeader On 
PerlHandler Apache::Registry 
Options 
ExecCGI /Location

And here are the contents of the startup.pl 
script:

 
#!/usr/bin/perl

 use strict;

 use lib 
qw(/usr/local/apache/require); 
 use 
Apache::Registry(); use CGI(); use 
CGI::Session(); use CGI::Carp(); use 
DBI(); use Net::LDAP();

 $ENV{MOD_PERL} or die 
"not running under mod_perl!";

 1;

When I stop/start the server and run a 
script with the following code:

 foreach $item (@INC) 
{ print ($item . 
"br"); }

I only get the output:

 /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/sun4-solaris 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/sun4-solaris 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .

?? I can't seem to find any rhyme or 
reason why the directory "/usr/local/apache/require" isn't on the @INC 
array?

Any help is greatly 
appreciated.according to all documentation I can find this should actually 
work. I'm hoping that I'm doing something terribly stupid :).

thnx,

~j

When do you run that script?  And why do you have PerlFreshRestart on?
