Perl can't see Path

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am using a Windows 2000 Server, Perl works great from the command line and works fine for CGI that doesn't try to access a file within it's path, but when I try to use require to access a module that is in the same folder as the .cgi it says it can't find the module in @inc. When I run a small program called testmy.cgi to test my perl file, it can't see any files or directories under the cgi-bin. I have vigorsly reset permissions on the perl.exe, the cgi-bin directory and the .cgi file itself. The script works great from the command line, but not online. The IUSR is set, Everyone is set. Help!? :)

Try to add the full path to your lib folder to the perl @INC array. In your case it seems to be cgi-bin. See: lib With `use lib 'full/path/to/your/lib';` Boris	[reply] [d/l]

Have your script print out @INC; . is not usually not in @INC under taint mode.	[reply]
