Re: Using the modules I want to use.

This should work:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w 
use lib '/u/web/dom/cgi-local/';
use CGI ':standard';
use GD;
print header, html( h1( "CGI: $CGI::VERSION GD: $GD::VERSION" ) );

You need to modify the @INC path before you load the modules. Also, if you have a module Foo::Bar residing in /some/dir/Foo/Bar.pm you must specify /some/dir/ as the path, without the Foo/ part.

Makeshifts last the longest.

Hmm. Add `use CGI::Carp;` and check the error log again. There should be a more detailed error message then. Also, run with `perl -c whichversion.cgi` on the shell if you can. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]

It appears that the use lib line in that loaction causes the "premature end of script" errors, Cal	[reply]

Well if I put a colon right before the path on the second line there is no error. However I still only see version 1.18.. `#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w<br> use lib ':/u/web/smpsvc/cgi-local';<br> use CGI::Carp;<br> use CGI ':standard';<br> use GD;<br> print header, html( h1( "CGI: $CGI::VERSION GD: $GD::VERSION" ) );<br>` [download] Cal	[reply] [d/l]
