Hi Monks,

I am using a module which loads a dynamic library to generate SWF output. I had managed to set this up and get it to work on a site I was using it on. I set up a blib like subdirectory in the cgi-bin I was using (I don't have root privileges) and use the BEGIN block to push that directory and the subdirectorys lib and arch into the @INC variable.

This worked,including the ability to load the SWF.so library from ~/cgi-bin/blib/arch/auto/SWF/ the site was merrily generating swf output and I walk away dusting my hands and think okay all is fine.

But today I look up the site and I get the message: 

[Wed Apr 10 16:07:09 2002] SWF.pm:
