cal has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello Monks, Earlier today I recieved several options on how to force a script to use modules that I select from my local cgi bin rather than using the perl modules from the server.

None of them work. Obviously I am missing some huuuuge detail in these examples.

Please Help Me understand

The only version that prints for GD is the version on the default (1.18)      use GD;
Why can't the scripts ever see the other modules.

The other version that is located in my cgi-local directory is 1.27

Browser UK was kind enough to help me with the script that prints out which version of a module is currently being used. Thanks again to him!

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w use CGI ':standard'; #use GD; #version GD 1.18 #use lib qw(/u/web/dom/cgi-local/GD); # EMPTY #unshift @INC, '/u/web/dom/cgi-local'; # EMPTY <BR><BR> #use FindBin; #Internal Server Error #use lib $FindBin::Bin; #Internal Server Error #use lib '/u/web/dom/cgi-local/GD'; # EMPTY print header, html( h1( "CGI: $CGI::VERSION GD: $GD::VERSION" ) );
