Re^2: DynaLoader and LD_LIBRARY

I am aware of that solution. The scripts in question have been upgraded to use these modules. The user of the scripts does not want to change his habits when it comes to running the scripts, i.e. run a shell script instead of the perl script directly. To keep it backward compatible, he wants the Perl script to be run directly without any prior modification of the environment.

So then rename the perl script to script-old, the shell script to the same name as script-old and pass any args along. If your looking for a way to modify your current script to load the proper ld path, you're out of luck If you don't like the shell script invocation, you can do as another poster suggested and have your perlscript set-up the environment in a begin block and then re-exec itself -derby	[reply]
