I'm trying to replicate a development environment with the following components:

Ubuntu 9.10
Apache2 2.2.12
mod_perl2 2.0.4

and a perl based portal package

Metadot 6.4.5.3

Metadot code sits outside of the installed %INC paths.

In theory, I should be able to set and export PERL5LIB in the root shell before starting Apache2 and have the contents added to %INC.

When I set PERL5LIB and run perl -V in the root shell, I see that %INC has been appropriately modified.

I verify that there are NO Apache instances running. Check to make sure PERL5LIB is set as desired in the root shell environment. Then I start Apache.

The first page I hit that calls a Metadot routine errors out with a "Can't locate Metadot.pm in @INC ..." message where the displayed %INC does not include the contents of PERL5LIB.

It works fine on the production RH server, just not on my development machine.

Anyone have any ideas of what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks
