.htaccess for site1:
SetEnv PERL5LIB /home/omsu/site/lib/pm


.htaccess for site2:
SetEnv PERL5LIB /home/omsutech/site/lib/pm


These directives allows to mod_perl/Apache::ASP mix up modules with
same names from different directories ???




See also my questions later in this text.

Thanks, Robert!

But... Let:

I need to have different code (and same module names!) for production
and development site.

Also I need to have (for example) two different production sites
(production sites for company A and company B) (site-A-production and
site-B-production), developed with same module naming conventions (for
example, each production site (A and B) have pm-module with name
"Tools.pm" and different code of each Tools.pm). For example, my
programming style is to use in web-pages my service module named
"Tools.pm" developed specially for each site.

And for each of production sites (A and B) I need to have development
version of site (site-A-dev and site-B-dev) with different code of
modules.


Ok, general question about hosting multiple sites (virtual hosts).
==================================================================

Assume that I need to host 10 (or 50) Apache::ASP-based sites. Assume
that each site have private module "Tools.pm" with globally-unique
code. Assume that I need to have one httpd build configured for
processing by child-httpd more than 1 user request (user request for
random hosted site). Assume that I need to use only one IP-address and
only port 80 on this IP-address with one httpd build (one root
instance in memory with 10 child processes).


How to solve this problem with modules mixing in this case ???
