There are a couple of ways depending on what you're trying to do:
Perl has a '-I' pararamter which allows additional libraries to be included like this:
Perl -I "root/cgi-bin/csr" myProgram.pl
For those on Windows, beware that ActiveState Perl 5.005_3 has a bug that causes paths to be chopped at the first space.
or if you don't want (or can't) pass parameters you probably want this:
use 'root/cgi-bin/csr';
as a last resort you might try:
BEGIN { push @INC, 'root/cgi-bin/csr' };
The BEGIN block is executed before the rest of the program.
Have fun,

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).
