Re^2: How to manipulate @INC in a script?

In addition to use lib, you can also use -I<path> on the command line like:

$ /usr/bin/perl -I"/home/me/lib" myscript.pl
[download]

or in your shebang line like:

#!/usr/bin/perl -I"/home/me/lib"
[download]

^{--

$me = rand($hacker{perl});}
All code, unless otherwise noted, is untested

Don't know if this is true just of Win32 (running ActivePerl 5.6.1 (633)) but if you use quotes in the shebang line it doesn't work. i.e. `#!/usr/bin/perl -I"/somedir/"` [download] ..won't work but `#!/usr/bin/perl -I/somedir/` [download] .. will. The `/usr/bin/perl` wouldn't be strictly correct on Win32, but under ActivePerl it doesn't seem to matter (could set it to the proper DOS path if required).	[reply] [d/l] [select]
