Adding to @INC

[wdatkinson]

One of our customers needed a perl module installed. I went in as root and installed the required module via CPAN. CPAN put the module here:

/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Astro

@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0

As a work around, I've copied the module to /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 and the script it working, but to keep things clean, I'd like to know how I can add a path to the @INC variable.

If nobody comes up with a solid answer you might try the mailing lists or the perl channel on irc.freenode.net

Yeah, its looking like I'm going to have to look elsewhere.... Thanks!

Hello,

At the beginning of your Perl script you could add:

use lib '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Astro';

However, I'm not sure how you'd automatically get that there.

Good luck.
