Run CGI script on Apache

[duntinq]

Hi all,

Does anyone know how to configure Apache so that it knows where to find the newly installed perl module? When I run my cgi which uses a newly installed module, my apache server cannot find it and gives me error. Please help. Thanks.

It will help others assist you if you show the error message.

Sure. Sorry, I should have done that. Here are the errors:

Error message in the log file:

Try putting it in the cgi-bin directory or using a fully qualified path in the requires line.

You might get an even better answer from the experts in the perl forum

I'm sure there is a better way to tell @INC where your PMs are, but I don't know it.

Found this reference for your issue

http://www.unix.org.ua/orelly/perl/prog3/ch31_13.htm

essentially

use lib "path/to/my.pm";

I have also seen

push(@INC, "path/to/my/libs"); but that never seemed to work for me
