in reply to Compiling Perl with correct values in @INC

If you can't rebuild the perl executable or you want to keep certain perl modules in a different directory for other reasons, just stick--

  use lib "/path/to/perl/modules";

...at the beginning of your script.

    Which actually works quite well using mod_perl: 
    <Perl>
use lib "/my/modules/path";
</Perl>

    As a note, you have to build that thing properly when compiling it in:
    % perl Makefile.PL EVERYTHING=1

    this will work but only in cases when perl will find "lib.pm" which, in turn, requires "Config.pm" and "Exporter.pm".
    That said, @INC must be sane in this case.

    I agree that @INC should *always* be sane, but what you will do if it is not? :)
