I'll tacked the mp2 bits this week.


just looking at it now...

it seems that mp2 doesn't respect (Perl)SetEnv PERL5LIB - I can't find it in the code and can't get it to work in the tests.

It's not mp2, it's perl. See the last para:


       PERL5LIB    A list of directories in which to look for Perl library
                   files before looking in the standard library and the cur-
                   rent directory.  Any architecture-specific directories
                   under the specified locations are automatically included if
                   they exist.  If PERL5LIB is not defined, PERLLIB is used.
                   Directories are separated (like in PATH) by a colon on
                   unixish platforms and by a semicolon on Windows (the proper
                   path separator being given by the command "perl
                   -V:path_sep").

                   When running taint checks (either because the program was
                   running setuid or setgid, or the -T switch was used), nei-
                   ther variable is used.  The program should instead say:

use lib "/my/directory";

comment out PerlSwitches -T and it'll appear.

mp1 has a special code to circumvent perl's ignorance of PERL5LIB under -T. We could copy it over, but I'd suggest to run it only at the server startup (only if we detect that -T is On) and never touch it again. We probably need to support that, so that it won't give users a reason not to use -T.
