davidj has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Fellow monks,
I'm getting unexpected behavior using use lib; It seems that the only directory my module can be found in is a subdirectory of the directory out of which the pages are being served. Also, when I don't use lib; and put the module in my PERL5LIB directory, Perl complains that it cannot be found. I have verified that all is setup correctly. Here is what I have: (in the script)
It is fine for me to store modules in the application subdirectories. I'm just wondering why Perl cannot find them anywhere else, including my exported PERL5LIB directory.

I'm getting unexpected behavior using use lib; It seems that the only directory my module can be found in is a subdirectory of the directory out of which the pages are being served. Also, when I don't use lib; and put the module in my PERL5LIB directory, Perl complains that it cannot be found. I have verified that all is setup correctly. Here is what I have: (in the script)
directory listing:use lib "/home/davidj/perl/lib/survey";
http error output:andromeda:davidj lib > pwd /home/davidj/perl/lib/survey andromeda:davidj survey > ls -l total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 davidj users 1444 Oct 23 03:09 survey.pm
I have tested other directories and nothing seems to work. However, if I do this:[Mon Oct 23 03:23:49 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Can't locate sur +vey.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /home/davidj/perl/lib/survey /usr/lib/ +perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi .....
and put the module file in that directory, with the pages being served out of /var/www/cgi-bin/survey, it all works fine.use lib "/var/www/cgi-bin/survey/lib/";
It is fine for me to store modules in the application subdirectories. I'm just wondering why Perl cannot find them anywhere else, including my exported PERL5LIB directory.
