I'm sure I'm missing something trivial, but a quick Super Search didn't show me what. I'm trying to get HTML::Mason working from a non-root install. I've got a server with mod_perl set up, and I did manage to get all the required modules installed in /my/home/dir/lib/modules. Now, I'm trying to get apache to actually send mason requests to a certain directory. I created this .htaccess file:

PerlSetEnv PERL5LIB /my/home/dir/lib/modules
PerlModule HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler
<FilesMatch "\.(html|mas)$">
  SetHandler perl-script
  PerlSetVar MasonDataDir /my/home/dir/lib/mason
  PerlHandler HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler
</FilesMatch>

But when I hit the server to this location, I get this error:

[Thu Jul  8 14:08:03 2004] [alert] [client 206.243.134.74] /my/home/di

Notice that /my/home/dir/lib/modules doesn't show up in @INC. So what am I doing wrong here? Is there another way of modifying @INC from within .htaccess? Any hints welcome!
