I want to extend the contents of the @INC array using the
-I command line argument
The test Perl is below
use strict "vars";
my $inc_item;
foreach $inc_item (@INC) {
print "$inc_item\n";
}

[download]
I used this with the follwing command line
C:\perl-programs>test-inc-iarg.pl -I c:\perl-programs\modules

The print lines gave the following
C:/perl5/lib
C:/perl5/site/lib
.

As can be seen the addtional directory was not shown in the @INC array.
Can anyone explain why this and what I should do so that I can use
the -I argument?
The folder options have been set so that files with extension .pl are processed
as shown next
C:\perl5\BIN\PERL.EXE %1 %*
