G'Day Monks,

This may be a little offtopic as it's mostly an Apache question, but I thought one of you monks might have run into this before and could help.

I'm in a corporate environment in which perl and perl modules are housed on a central server and moutned to workstations via NFS. The upshot of this is that IT controls what modules are installed. So to add perl modules, I crated a local module directory on my workstation and made the PERL5LIB environmental variable point to it. This works great...until I try to write CGI scripts run from Apache on my workstation. Perk works fine, of course, but it doesn't seem to have picked up the PERL5LIB variable--Apache throws an error telling me that one of the modules I need for a script isn't in @INC. When it shows me @INC, it doesn't include my local module directory.

Any idea how I can make Apache pick up my PERL5LIB? I tried becoming root, setting PERL5LIB, and restarting Apache, but to no avail. I'm on a RedHat system if it makes any difference.
