Re: Problem pushing into @INC

BEGIN blocks are done just then ... at the beginning. So in your example, $home is interpolated as a null string. Try:

BEGIN {
   push( @INC, $ENV{HOME} . "/prod_support/scripts" );
}

Or another (more modern) way:

use lib "$ENV{HOME}/prod_support/scripts";

While `use lib` is nice, it doesn't push; it unshifts. There is no pragma that unshifts, AFAIK. So the push in BEGIN is pretty much the only option. -- Chip Salzenberg, Free-Floating Agent of Chaos	[reply] [d/l]

Sure. I assumed (wrongly probably) that in this particular instance the poster didn't really care about controlling the loading (ala @INC positioning) but was more concerned about getting the unique project specific stuff into @INC. -derby	[reply]
