What error do you get? Is the module correctly installed in /webdir/Auth (i.e. `/webdir/Auth/Auth/OATH.pm` exists)? Does the webserver user have permissions to read the directory? لսႽ† ᥲᥒ⚪⟊Ⴙᘓᖇ Ꮅᘓᖇ⎱ Ⴙᥲ𝇋ƙᘓᖇ	[reply] [d/l]

Is it `'/webdir/Auth'`, or `'../../webdir/Auth'`? '../..' is replaced with the base directory of your library directory relative to your .pl script. Note: "it does not work" is usually not a very good or informative error message. Including the message from your error log and/or browser will likely be helpful. --MidLifeXis	[reply] [d/l] [select]

lets say domain.com/folder1/Authen/OATH.pm #this is the module location so am calling the module like this `use lib '/folder1'; use Authen::OATH;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

and where is your CGI script / .pl page, using the same `domain.com/folder1/....` example? As it stands, you are asking for the script to search in the root directory available to the .pl script. I am guessing that this is not the case, unless some chroot magic is happening. --MidLifeXis	[reply] [d/l]

Place this script in the same folder as your .pl script and browse it. `#!/usr/bin/perl # cwd.pl use strict; use CGI; use CGI::Carp 'fatalsToBrowser'; use Cwd; my $q = new CGI; print $q->header, $q->start_html(), $q->pre(cwd()), $q->end_html;` [download] What path is displayed? poj	[reply] [d/l]

Modules are searched within subdirectories where you see "::" in their name. As a shot in the dark, i'm guessing that you want: `use lib '/webdir';` [download] And if you look on disk you'll see the file: '/webdir/Auth/OATH.pm'	[reply] [d/l]
Re^2: Module Path Problem by bigup401 (Pilgrim) on Nov 18, 2014 at 17:22 UTC
yes i also tried that `use lib '/webdir/'; use Auth::OATH;` [download] bt it failed the chmod is 755	[reply] [d/l]

" it failed " Oh? "failed" HOW? Tell us -- verbatim -- the warnings, error messages and/or -- in narrative -- how it "failed"; how you know that; and how whatever happened falls short of your desires. The Monastery's crystal ball is undergoing an upgrade (in the hope we can eventually make it work) but right now, "it fail(s)." *Questions containing the words "doesn't work" (or their moral equivalent) will usually get a downvote from me unless accompanied by:* code verbatim error and/or warning messages *a coherent explanation of what "doesn't work* actually means.**	[reply] [d/l]
