Re: Cant locate DBI in @INC

You'd need to put the push (@INC, "D:\\Perl\\site\\lib"); in a BEGIN block for it to be of any help for the subsequent use DBI;. Otherwise, the use DBI (which itself implies a BEGIN block) would be run before you have manipulated @INC.

BEGIN { push (@INC, "D:\\Perl\\site\\lib"); }
use DBI;

Or simply

use lib "D:\\Perl\\site\\lib";
use DBI;
[download]

(The latter would also put the additional lib path in front of the array (like unshift @INC would) — which usually is what you want.)

This shows that the @INC manipulation actually had an effect this time :) Unfortunately, the module that was found under `D:\\Perl\\site\\lib` apparently isn't binary compatible with your perl (most likely, the shared lib associated with the DBD part is the culprit). Anyhow, you said it did work before. So - as the @INC manipulation cannot have had any effect before - some other module must have been found at the time (under the default lib paths)... Maybe you can reconstruct which version/build of DBI/DBD and perl that had been. Otherwise you'll likely have to reinstall the DB modules.	[reply] [d/l]
