Hi all,
I'm trying to include a different file in a program depending on whether
it's in a development or production environment, but the 'use lib'
parameter doesn't include the value of the variable I want it to
interpolate. I'm running the following simplified script:
----
#!/usr/bin/perl
$DEV_OR_PROD = 'dev';
$LIB_LOC = "path/" . $DEV_OR_PROD . "/lib";
print $LIB_LOC . "\n";
use lib "/foo/$LIB_LOC/bar";
require 'file-to-include.pl';
----
>From which I get:
----
path/dev/lib
Can't locate file-to-include.pl in @INC (@INC contains: /foo//bar
/usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 .)
at test.pl line 6.
----
The first line ("/path/dev/lib") is perfect, but you'll notice the first
@INC value is "/foo//bar", which is obviously missing the "path/dev/lib"
part that is stored in $LIB_LOC. I've consulted various references, but
can't seem to get an answer. The same behavior happens on version 5.005_03
for Linux and version 5.6.1 for Win32. What am I doing wrong?
