Re^3: Perl on Unix by jethro (Monsignor) on Aug 11, 2011 at 09:45 UTC
It might work for many modules, but some modules have parts programmed in C (for speed reasons) and these need to be compiled. If you install them, they usually get stored in a location where perl looks automatically so you don't need those 'use lib...' stuff Your line `BEGIN { unshift(@INC, "\path\modules") }` [download] is not working because backslashes have a special meaning. What you want is `BEGIN { unshift(@INC, "/path/modules") } or BEGIN { unshift(@INC, "\\path\\modules") }` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

No, on Unix you do not want `unshift(@INC, "\\path\\modules")`. That contains no path separator, and refers to a file or directory in the current directory with 13 characters in its name.	[reply] [d/l]
