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" ) );

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.
