If these are modules that are "private" to your program, you can use the "use lib" pragma in conjunction with the FindBin module to locate your modules relative to your script. perldoc FindBin perldoc lib If these are standard modules that you've installed in a non-standard location, use PERL5LIB instead of hard-coding paths into a "use lib" directive. Generally speaking, avoid hard-coding entries into @INC. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
