Howto locate locally installed Perl module for a CGI script in APACHE .htaccess

monkfan · #1 (**permalink**) 05-18-2006

Hi,

I have the following simple CGI script, just containg header:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w 
use CGI ':standard'; 
use lib "/home/myname/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/"; 
use Mail::Sendmail;

I also have included this directive in ~/public_html/.htaccess :

Code:

SetEnv PERL5LIB /home/myname/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5

Since I am not a root user I have installed my module locally
as shown in the directive above.

Now the problem is that my script above (called temp.cgi)
cannot recognize the location of my Perl module.
You can try it here:

http://defiant.i2r.a-star.edu.sg/~ew...i-bin/temp.cgi

Also in command line: $perl -cT temp.cgi
gave same problem of failure in recognizing Mail::Sendmail.

What's wrong with my setup? How can I let my cgi script
recognize the Mail::Sendmail module?

Hope to hear from you again.

Regards,
monkfan
