Hello Monks,

I have written some scripts and have tested succcessfully in the 'test' environment. I am not sure what is the best approach to migrate them from 'test' to 'production' environment.

The scripts start as follows: 


#! /usr/local/perl -wT

use strict;
use warnings;

# look for additional modules
# (I have the .pm files for the test environment in this path)

use lib '/path/to/modules/testenvir/';

# logic follows..
...
...

Ideally, I would have liked to move (i.e. copy) the scripts from 'test' to 'production' environment without any changes but the problem I am having is that all the scripts have additional path to look for modules(i.e '/path/to/modules/testenvir/' ) .

If I migrate the scripts without any changes, then the 'production' environment would be using the modules in the 'test' environment, which isn't right. The other way is to change the lib path to point to '/path/to/modules/prodenvir/', but I have to modify all the scripts everytime I want to move something to production.

Is there a better way to handle this problem?
