Re: Re: Re: How to get use to follow symbolic links?

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 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl) at /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. Bye PetaMem All Perl: MT, NLP, NLU	[reply]

Are all the directories in /data/nlpdev/pm/PMLS/T9 world readable? Is Common.pm world readable? Apache/mod_perl runs as "nobody", so has limited ability to see files on the system. rdfield	[reply]

Oh man...the solution: Yes, Everything was world readable. Everything. Even the directories. But they were not world executable, so the cd to them failed for nobody... And I tried it of course as user, who was owner of these... Bye PetaMem All Perl: MT, NLP, NLU	[reply]
