Re: Basic - Perl5lib

[ikegami]

If you have multiple versions of Perl do they share the same PERL5LIB?

Environment variables are inherited from the parent process.

In other words, it doesn't have a default value and you have to set it manually?

It depends on what you mean by default value. You could set it in your login script, for example.

I don't have a PERL5LIB environment variable?? When i run env command it isn't in the list and I get nothing from this Perl program

#!/usr/bin/perl


print "PERL5LIB: ", $ENV{PERL5LIB}, "\n";
print "done\n";

So you don't. Is that a question?

Perhaps you are missing the point of the variable: To specify additional locations to search for modules.
