Dear fellow Monks,

does anyone know how to change the DynaLoader's libpath from within the perl script that wants to use a library through the DynaLoader?

Background is this:

I have some perl scripts hosted on a webserver where I do not have control over the perl installation and therefore can not properly install perl add-ons. For static modules this is not a problem as I can use lib "/mypath"

This however does not seem to work for stuff that needs the DynaLoader, like use ccom. There I consistently get the message 

$ Can't load '/mypath/auto/ccom/ccom.dll' for module ccom: load_file:T
+he specified module could not be found at /officialperlpath/lib/DynaL
+oader.pm line 206.

On the one hand this tells me, that perl actually found and understood /mypath/ccom.pm. On the other hand what really gets me is that said /mypath/auto/ccom/ccom.dll is actually right at that location, but will not be used.

Any meditations on this?

Thanks,
Mike

P.S. Of course when I go for the thing I really want to use, which is use ccom::phonet I get the error that this is not found in the path at all. I'm just thinking of taking it one step at a time at this stage.
