Another option on a Mac is to define $PERL5LIB at the time of login to the OS itself. That is done with an XML file $HOME/.MacOSX/environment.plist where you can set environment variables that are set up for all applications you activate. Apple has a note on it that CAN be found on apple,com. A well behaved rc file will NOT remove things previously defined but /etc/cshrc, the global startup file, can and will overwrite any $PATH you set in environment.plist. -- --> The greenhouse effect due to water vapor has never been fully modeled and weather forecasting remains irreducibly complex. It is clear that global warming is the act of an Intelligent Designer. <--
