The problem is that the directory you are in when you call the perl from the MSDOS window is not the same directory you are in when it is called by the 3rd party ap so the library is not found. There are many ways to specify how to find a perl library. The one i use is to determine the directory that myperl-lib is in and specify it as i call perl. lets assume your libary is at C:\dir1\dir2\dir3\dir4\dirapp\myperl-lib. then

perl -I C:\dir1\dir2\dir3\dir4\dirapp C:\dir1\dir2\dir3\dir4\dirapp\pe
+rlapp.pl
[download]

should do the trick.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Do you know where your variables are?
