Hello All,

I'm in the process of untainting a fairly large cgi program and have run into this problem when I try to load a Module I wrote just for the program. The module itself is located in its own library directory and is usually called by doing something like: 

use lib './'; 
use LIB::MYMODULE;

[download]

but it seems when I turn tainting on, I get this wonderful little tidbit: 

Can't locate LIB/MYMODULE.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/libdata/perl
+/5.00503/mach.... yadda yadda) not  listing my directory, of couse,

[download]
some things I've tried, adding the path to the $ENV{PATH}, doing something like this: 
BEGIN{ 
$lib = '/usr/home/justin/www/LIB';
push(@INC, $lib);
}

[download]

What am I missing?

also, any suggestions/insight on converting a large program to use taint checking is appreciated.
