[sf-perl] @INC

[Loo, Peter # PHX]

Hi Michael and Michael,

Still does not work.

$ cat ./testCon.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use DBI;

my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:instance", "my_id", "my_pass", {
RaiseError => 1 });

$dbh->disconnect();

exit;

$ ./testCon.pl    
Can't locate DBI.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/sun4-solaris
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.3/sun4-solaris /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.3
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/sun4-solaris
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .)
at ./testCon.pl line 3.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./testCon.pl line 3.

$ env | grep PERL5LIB
PERL5LIB=:/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/sun4-solaris

At my office, we store our code in CVS, so each developer has their own
copy of our custom modules. To make that work we couldn't use 'use lib'
because we didn't want to edit the files everytime. Instead we use
PERL5LIB, the environment variable.

Perl adds any dirs in PERL5LIB into your @INC before running any script.
(See `man perlrun`.)

However, as the perlrun page points out, this is inherently insecure, so
don't try it if you are checking for taint, running on a shared machine,
etc. etc.

PS - You can also unshift dirs directly onto @INC, but that's the brute
force approach.
