SPUG: Change perl's libpth on the fly?

[Steve Laybourn]

G'day!
   I had a problem like this once when I installed ActiveState on my 
machine. Seems you can do something like:

push(@INC,"/usr/bin/perl/wossname");

at the beginning of the script to add paths to @INC, which has all the Perl 
subdirectory markers for scripts to be evaluated by do, use, or require 
constructs.

   Hopefully this will solve your problem, or I anticipate there will be a 
tar machine and several dozen goose-down pillows waiting for me at the 
meeting tonight.
   Be seeing you...
