in reply to Loading sendmail module

There is a solution in the "Perl Cookbook":

# syntax for sh, bash, ksh, or zsh
$ export PERL5LIB=$HOME/perllib

# syntax for csh or tcsh
% setenv PERL5LIB ~/perllib

[download]

Or a solution in "Learning Perl Objects, References & Modules", which is to start your script by:

BEGIN {shift @INC, "/home/perlib";}

where perlib is always the directory that contains Mail/Sendmail.pm

    I tried calling it but gives me back an error message saying: 
    Can't locate Mail/Sendmail.pm in @INC (@INC contains:.....etc..

    Here is how I did it: 
    use lib '/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Mail';
use Mail::Sendmail;

      Try using:

      use lib '/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005';

      Or if it doesn't work, I would definitely advice the

      BEGIN...
