Operating Systems OS X (Apple) Newbie PATH command question... Post 302722879 by Bridger on Monday 29th of October 2012 12:52:42 AM

Newbie PATH command question...

Still trying to pick up speed on the command line in OSX.

I have installed Apache, and some other server software, but am having problems getting my install of Perl to work. I feel like it's because my Apache install is looking for the base (built-in) Perl that came with OSX which is 5.10.

I have installed the latest version of Perl with MacPorts into another directory:

/opt/local/bin/perl5.16

How do I use the PATH command to make sure it always gets called? I never want to use the 5.10 version in OSX, only my installed version. And while I'm at it, is there a good beginner's explanation of PATH and what it's for and how it's used?

Apache::Session::Postgres(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			    Apache::Session::Postgres(3pm)

NAME
Apache::Session::Postgres - An implementation of Apache::Session SYNOPSIS
use Apache::Session::Postgres; #if you want Apache::Session to open new DB handles: tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::Postgres', $id, { DataSource => 'dbi:Pg:dbname=sessions', UserName => $db_user, Password => $db_pass, Commit => 1 }; #or, if your handles are already opened: tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::Postgres', $id, { Handle => $dbh, Commit => 1 }; DESCRIPTION
This module is an implementation of Apache::Session. It uses the Postgres backing store and no locking. See the example, and the documentation for Apache::Session::Store::Postgres for more details. USAGE
The special Apache::Session argument for this module is Commit. You MUST provide the Commit argument, which instructs this module to either commit the transaction when it is finished, or to simply do nothing. This feature is provided so that this module will not have adverse interactions with your local transaction policy, nor your local database handle caching policy. The argument is mandatory in order to make you think about this problem. AUTHOR
This module was written by Jeffrey William Baker <jwbaker@acm.org>. SEE ALSO
Apache::Session::File, Apache::Session::Flex, Apache::Session::DB_File, Apache::Session::Postgres, Apache::Session perl v5.10.1 2010-10-18 Apache::Session::Postgres(3pm)
