Re^3: SetEnv PERL5LIB in htaccess for Apache 2.2 versus 1.3 by scorpio17 (Canon) on Jul 03, 2007 at 13:22 UTC
Here's what I suggest: Somewhere in you apache config file, add something like this (the exact path can vary, of course): `PerlRequire /var/www/perl/startup.pl` [download] Then create startup.pl so that it looks like this: `use lib qw(/path/to/my/modules); use MY::MODULE; 1;` [download] The use lib line adds directories to the search path. If you actually put use MY::MODULE in the startup file, these modules will be preloaded when apache starts up.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Hi, Thanks so much for your reply. I don't have the SU power, thus cannot modify config of Apache2.2. I maybe able to ask Admin to modify the Apache config. But I think I cannot ask to customize the Apache config for my home working directory (otherwise he would have to do that for everybody) Do you have suggestion how can I get around it with your solution? Is there a generic way the sysadmin can modify the Apache config? Regards, Edward	[reply]
