ArunMKumar has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Namaste Monks..
I have written a set of scripts, on a local system (my laptop) The work fine here. Now My scripts are required to be deployed in remote system(s) and the thing I am worried about is the availability and the installation of the Libraries that I have used. The 2 Libraries that are currently in use are "XML::LibXML" and "Spreadsheet::ParseExcel". I have this idea where I will put them in a "lib" directory in the same project Directory, and the scripts will refer from them. My questions are as follows. I have installed them in a directory, using the commands as follows from the extracted tar files. perl Makefile.Pl make make test make install PREFIX=<path_to_lib> LIB=<path_to_lib> I also see the .pm files being populated in various tree structures in that lib directory. My question now is , How do i force my scripts to reference this lib directory when It wants to look for the modules? I am new to perl, from what I searched online I think it has to do with modifying @INC variable, while some solutions say about explicitly including these versions of the library (which I have no clue, as those post included their own perl modules). so.. How do i force my scripts to use these libraries exclusively, and not throw an error when i deploy them to different systems (all Linux systems with perl 5 or above for sure).
