Re^2: DynaLoader and LD_LIBRARY

in reply to Re: DynaLoader and LD_LIBRARY_PATH
in thread DynaLoader and LD_LIBRARY_PATH

I did try it with a BEGIN block. I took the BEGIN block out in my post. It did not make it work.

Your alternate idea would be something like this?

BEGIN {
  unless ($ENV{PATH} =~ m#/foo/bin#) {
    $ENV{PATH} = "/foo/bin:/bar/bin:$ENV{PATH}";
    $ENV{LD_LIBRARY_PATH} = "/foo/bin:/bar/bin:$ENV{LD_LIBRARY_PATH}";
    $ENV{PERL5LIB} = "/foo/lib:$ENV{PERL5LIB}";
    exec("$0 @ARGV");
    exit;
  }
}
use foo;

Close. The exec line would look like this: `exec($^X, $0, @ARGV);` [download] And you don't need the exit line - when exec runs, it replaces the current process with the new process. The "current" process won't even exist anymore - processing continues at the beginning of the new program.	[reply] [d/l]
