I was finding it too difficult to trace. I've never seen it before, but in a fairly complex environment that I don't fully understand modperl_inc.pl had an entry like use lib ''; I tried to figure out at which of the many stages it was added but I didn't see it, so I figured removing it at the last possible moment was best. feel free to track it down, though :) --Geoff
