You are probably looking for Config.pm (look at c:\perl\bin\config.pl as
well)..
I've not used it myself, but there's html and POD docs on them for their
use, but I think you'd want to look at modifying these values (to supply
your additional library paths):
installvendorarch
installvendorlib
In the Config.pm
Good luck.

However, you should be able to push the path to @INC from your script (I
think it needs to be in a BEGIN block, but I'm not sure). I've never
really found a need to include a path that is not in the normal Win32
paths since everything I do is via PPM (and it throws the module in the
lib or site\lib folders -- PPM makes for easy installs and versioning)
-- with the exception of Mail-SpamAssassin, and it installs to the
site\lib folder as well. Good Luck.
Pushing directories to @INC is trivial. I currently have the following
awfulhak to make this work:
BEGIN {
my ($lib) = ($ENV{PERL5LIB} =~ m{^([cd]:(?:/\w+)+)$}i);
push @INC, $lib;
}
But the thing is I *don't* want to have to do that to each and every web
script, it's too painful. Maybe I should explain the end goal.
I have three seperate Win32 boxes. I have a Perl search directory for
in-house modules which, for historical reasons, is in different
directories on different drives for the three machines. PERL5LIB lets me
abstract that difference away. (And hopefully one day bring them back
into line).
So I have standard Activestate Perl installations (albeit with ppm
additions) sitting in one place, and my in-house modules in a completely
different directory. This allows me keep the AS stuff and my stuff
completely separate. And the way the house works, it's just better that way.
For command line programs, this works as advertised:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>perl -le "print for @INC"
C:/agdata/libperl
c:/Perl/lib
c:/Perl/site/lib
.
It does not work for IIS, and I wish it did. If there's another way of
pushing stuff onto @INC, like editing a sekret file hidden away in
c:/perl/.../ I'd settle for that.

I don't think this is an IIS thing.. I don't have a PERL5LIB
Environment Variable defined on my system at all. (ActivePerl 5.8.6
Build 811)
However, you should be able to push the path to @INC from your script (I
