Re: Re: perl wrapped in batch

Thanks for your help joost. it seems from your inclusion that I need to know the path to the modules beforehand. the client will be setting the path to the modules in the environment (via My Computer) so i will not know this path. please tell me if i misunderstood. Is there anyway in perl to get the path the OS uses (after searching the PATH) to run the script? thanks again, michael

ah, I see, The easiest way for this is to set the environment variable PERL5LIB instead of PATH to point to the module files. From perlrun: PERL5LIB A colon-separated list of directories in which to look for Perl library files before looking in the standard library and the current directory. Any architecture-specific directories under the specified locations are automatically included if they exist. If PERL5LIB is not defined, PERLLIB is used. `-- Joost downtime n.
