Re^5: will this random-text script work? how do i integrate a template?

As use lib qw(...) is (more or less) the same as adding your directory to the @INC array, it will drill down into this directory, just as if your directory was part of the normal Perl module tree. This means that you have to set up your private module directory in a similar way as Perl's.

For instance: for File::Random you should place the file Random.pm inside a File directory, directly underneath your /perl_modules directory.

Normally you should let the CPAN-module (or CPANPLUS-module) take care of this. Have a look at question 5 in the FAQ included in the CPAN-module documentation. It will explain how to set up CPAN so it installs in your private module directory.

Thanks so much for all your help! I sat down today with a progammer from my uni's compsci dept and worked out the last wrinkles, and I'm happy (more like ecstatic) to report that the script is now working! Site's not done yet, but the tricky part is finished. I'd like to thank you formally in the documentation for my project; what name would you like me to use?	[reply]
