Gentlemen, I am trying to put my Perl scripts into a common area in Win XP. I have tried setting the PERL5LIB variable but to no avail. It will not seek out my modules in that folder. Nor will it find the script passed to Perl from the command line. What magic words did I forget to speak before issuing the command. I have issued Perl -V and see the PERL5LIB variable in the listing at the end.

PERL5LIB is not platform-specific. I have used it in XP.

I have issued Perl -V and see the PERL5LIB variable in the listing at the end.

Do you see the directory in the @INC list in perl -V? If so, it worked fine.

Are you using -T? PERL5LIB isn't used in taint mode.

Could you give the exact error message and the full path to the .pm, please?
