Re: Icky Gross and Disgusting @INC Kludges. (code, discussion)

Why not use the old perl and use a prefix with your installation process like this:

perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=<pathtolib>/lib
[download]

And if you need perl 5.6, why not use your perl 5.6 in the header of your scripts so they run under the new perl?

Hope this helps.

The reason I cannot just use `#!/path/to/my/perl5.6` [download] is that the Netscape server in question must: a) be able to read my home dir (not a chance) b) be aware that it is allowed to execute my perl (not a chance). having the Makefile install modules in the web directory would not be helpful, as they are already there. dep. -- Laziness, Impatience, Hubris, and Generosity.
