If you are trying to allow Perl to find modules that you are use'or require'ing, you can use lib ... `use lib '/path/to/my/libs'; use MySpecialLib;` [download] mr.nick ...	[reply] [d/l]

There are a couple of ways depending on what you're trying to do: Perl has a '-I' pararamter which allows additional libraries to be included like this: `Perl -I "root/cgi-bin/csr" myProgram.pl` [download] For those on Windows, beware that ActiveState Perl 5.005_3 has a bug that causes paths to be chopped at the first space. or if you don't want (or can't) pass parameters you probably want this: `use 'root/cgi-bin/csr';` [download] as a last resort you might try: `BEGIN { push @INC, 'root/cgi-bin/csr' };` [download] The BEGIN block is executed before the rest of the program.
