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

My mod_perl handler is started with use lib "/home/hive/25167/perl/lib" as described in the mod_perl manual on @INC.
This does not include the /home/hive/25167/perl/lib/i686-linux-thread-multi subdirectory. What am i doing wrong here?

@INC: 
/cadappl/perl/5.8.0/lib/site_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux-thread-multi/Apache
+2
/home/http/pww/25167/
/home/hive/25167/perl/lib
/cadappl/perl/5.8.0/lib/5.8.0/i686-linux-thread-multi

Re: "use lib" not adding i686-linux-thread-multi subdir

    As described in the lib documentation, the architecture specific directory will only be added to @INC if there is an auto subdirectory - you should check that you have a /home/hive/25167/perl/lib/i686-linux-thread-multi/auto directory.

      The auto subdir does exist,a nd it works fine on the command-line.

    Does /home/hive/25167/perl/lib/i686-linux-thread-multi/auto exist? It should.

    Still, it seems like a bug that lib.pm should check for it (its the only case where it does).

    'My mod_perl handler is started with use lib "/home/hive/25167/perl/lib" as described in the mod_perl manual on @INC.'

    You have specified use lib in your handler, but the documentation says to put this pragma in your startup.pl. I think that may be your problem. Your @INC may be getting modified at runtime, not startup.

    In the startup file directly alter the @INC. For example

      startup.pl
  ----------
  use lib qw(/home/httpd/perl /home/httpd/mymodules);
  1;

    [download]
    

and load the startup file from the configuration file by:

      PerlRequire /path/to/startup.pl

    Well, you are not using use lib ('/home/hive/25167/perl/lib', '/home/hive/25167/perl/lib/i686-linux-thread-multi'); I suppose.
