Not able to remove path from @INC

Brajen259 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, When i try to run a script i get the error like "cant locate a module". I saw the module was present so exported the variable and it worked . But when i tried to make the changes permanently i got the same error. After investigation I found the following things . 1. We had a user (lets say X) , @INC was having a path which also contains part of home directory (like /home/x/.../) 2. we removed the user X and we have user Y now . 3. Still the @INC is looking for the previous path which does not exist. any suggestions would be appreciated . Thanks, Brajen

:) step 1) don't add broken paths to @INC seriously, don't add paths to @INC that aren't paths that should be in @INC perl5, perl5::ingy ToolSet Syntax::Collector Toolkit rig see perlrun#PERL5OPT , PERLLIB, PERL5LIB sitecustomize under perlrun#* f* how to make lexical pragma global, hints ( pl_hints $^H %^H ), taint::all, Re: batch 'use' possible? (perl5.pm Toolset.pm, Syntax::Collector , Toolkit.pm, rig.pm, sitecustomize.pl, PERL5OPT )( load multiple commonly-used favorite modules in a single import expression ) export into / Import::Into :D	[reply]

Actually, I dont want to add anything . There are some default paths that @INC looking during run time . These paths are already removed . when I try to update the @INC using lib modules , it is throwing me a error like Config.pm is not available. any solutions please. Thanks in advance Brajen	[reply]

You will need to show the relevant code that produces the problem. One easy way of producing what you seem to describe would be something like the following: `BEGIN { @INC= (); }; use lib '/home/foo/perl-lib'; # will die with "module lib.pm not found +"` [download] My advice is to just not do that, or to review require, which allows runtime loading of files.
