in reply to Dynamic @INC under mod_perl2 (Apache2 VirtualHost)

You almost have it. You also need the Parent option. See the docs for more info.

  <VirtualHost ...>
      ServerName dev
      PerlOptions +Parent
      PerlSwitches -Mlib=/home/dev/lib/perl
  </VirtualHost>

  <VirtualHost ...>
      ServerName test
      PerlOptions +Parent
      PerlSwitches -Mlib=/home/test/lib/perl
  </VirtualHost>

    Keeping in mind the important piece of info in the parent post is PerlOptions +Parent, the docs also say -Mlib=... is buggy on certain platforms. -I... does the same thing, except it doesn't remove duplicates (which is no biggy). Therefore, he should keep his -I... and simply add PerlOptions +Parent, as follows: 

    <VirtualHost ...>
   ServerName dev
   PerlOptions +Parent
   PerlSwitches -I/home/dev/lib/perl
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost ...>
   ServerName test
   PerlOptions +Parent
   PerlSwitches -I/home/test/lib/perl
</VirtualHost>

    I presume his LoadModule needs to be placed in <VirtualHost> for it to work?

      Thank you - I am making progress.

      I've setup Apache to listen on port 8080 and Included VH config file like so:

      Read more... (2 kB)
      But I get this error, despite my best efforts: 
      Can't locate object method "log_error" via package "Apache2::RequestRe
+c" at /home/graq/lib/GRAQ/Menu.pm line 56.

      This all used to work with liberal smatterings of <Perl> use lib 'home/graq/lib';</Perl> and I'm getting a little lost on exactly what effects my changes have had on the mod_perl environment.

      I remember having this error when porting from mp1 to mp2, but can't find any notes on it or hints from the docs on what object I should have in handler...?

        Looking through the Apache2::RequestRec documentation shows that log_error actually exists on Apache2::Log (which extends Apache2::RequestRec).

        For whatever reason, that extension was not loaded with the new configuration. Adding use Apache2::Log; to my modules fixed the problem.

        Thank you all for your help
