if you're seeing something different but following the same steps, then we clearly need some tests to flesh this out, though I'm not sure now how we would undo -T for a single set of tests in the suite.


Sorry, you are right, I was looking at the wrong printout. I did:

    use Data::Dumper;
    warn Dumper [EMAIL PROTECTED];
    warn Dumper $ENV{PERL5LIB};

So @INC didn't have it, but $ENV{PERL5LIB} had.

So it's only when PERL5LIB is set outside and PerlPassEnv is used it affects mod_perl.

actually, PerlPassEnv isn't required.


Though since everybody is better off running with -T, it doesn't make any difference. The question is whether we should support PERL5LIB despite -T or not.

In mp1 tt does that regardless tainting:

yes, that I knew. it was the special treatment of -T that I didn't see.



in src/modules/perl/mod_perl.c:


    /* SetEnv PERL5LIB */
    if (!MP_INCPUSH(cld)) {
        char *path = (char *)table_get(r->subprocess_env, "PERL5LIB");

        if (path) {
           perl_inc_unshift(path);
            MP_INCPUSH_on(cld);
        }
    }

right. and that was my point all along - (Perl)SetEnv doesn't work in 2.0. it did work in 1.0, but the syntax is funky since you can PerlSetEnv anywhere, even within a container, so sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, depending on when the one-per-request processing happens.



notice that it doesn't even split path on ':'.

yup :)


so I'm back to my original suggestion: let's mark (Perl)SetEnv PERL5LIB as deprecated, leave $ENV{PERL5LIB} behaving as perl does automatically (including ignoring under -T), and suggest PerlSwitches -I as the canonical way to add additional paths to @INC from httpd.conf.
