Corion, could you please elaborate on that? How, exactly, is taint-mode triggering the library not being loaded, an how, exactly, does your suggestion address it? No question that you surely are right ... but to an outsider with less knowledge than you have it isn't easy to see why.

If you don't have `PERL5LIB` set in your environment, the problem is somewhere else. The variable `@INC` is the search path where Perl looks for modules. You can inspect the module search path by running `perl -V` on the command line. The value of `@INC` is influenced by the environment variable `PERL5LIB`, see perlrun and perlvar on @INC. The link I posted explains that the environment variable `PERL5LIB` is ignored under taint mode. The module lib is a convenient way to set up `@INC` (which `PERL5LIB` also sets) from within a Perl program.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
