in reply to How to get use to follow symbolic links?

Have you checked that @INC contains "/path/to/symlink"?

    Of course. It does. I also tested it with a regular pl-file. It works there. Must be something mod_perl/cgi specific. I don't know what...

      Ah, not quite what I meant - is it in the @INC inside mod_perl?

      From the guide:

      Regarding the setting of PerlPassEnv PERL5LIB in httpd.conf: if you turn on taint checks (PerlTaintCheck On), $ENV{PERL5LIB} will be ignored (unset). See the 'Switches -w, -T' section.
      so I generally use a startup file to set the @INC I need at runtime under mod_perl: http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/config.html#The_Startup_File.

        I guess so.

        The module I want the cgi to use is: PMLS::T9::Common.pm

        I get: 

         Error message:
Can't locate PMLS/T9/Common.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i586-linux-thread-multi/Apache2 
/data/nlpdev/pm /data/nlpdev
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i586-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i586-linux-thread-multi

/data/nlpdev/dia.cgi line 17, line 9. BEGIN
failed--compilation aborted at /data/nlpdev/dia.cgi line 17, 
line 9.
        but in /data/nlpdev/pm is a (working) symbolic link PMLS-> someotherdir

        Needless to say, that a cat /data/nlpdev/pm/PMLS/T9/Common.pm works. If I remove the Link and replace it with the directory it is pointing to, everything works. I see no error on my side.
