These are indeed three ways to adjust where modules are found. Some extra notes:

  • Don't expect '.' to be in @INC if it may be run by root; perl reigns in that behavior for uid==0.
  • I really don't care much for use lib '/hard/wired/path' especially in a multiple-platfom corporate deployment environment. There is no '\\winsvr\perl\extensions\lib' on Solaris and no '/corp/home/perl' on Windows, for example. I made a corporate-specific setup module which (among many other things) performed the equivalent @INC adjustment but only after doing a few heuristic checks to decide the appropriate path. Then any corporate-specific script could just 'use DynaCorp;' to reap the benefits.
  • Let the system administrators setenv PERLLIB to appropriate site-wide values. Don't adjust or assume the value of PERLLIB on behalf of a single script or application, it really complicates installation of that script into new environments. Imagine trying to tell a co-worker that this tool will help them, but neither you nor they have permissions to adjust PERLLIB without a hackish wrapper BAT file or .sh script.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
