Ok, I have added 'use lib qw(/opt/ward/IDV/DEV/Modules);' to my startup.pl,
but now I get the following error in my error log:
Syntax error on line 339 of /opt/ward/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'PerlINC', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not
included in the server configuration
line 339 is the PerlINC line above. I have 'PerlModule Apache::PerlVINC' in
my httpd.conf file (I have tried moving it to startup.pl, but that doesn't
make any difference). Relevant part of httpd.conf attached again.
Any other suggestions? Could it have something to do with my virtual host
sections (I have more virtual host sections with Apache::PerlVINC stuff
in)?

PS. I wouldn't mind helping out maintaining this module, but I am not sure
I understand it 100%. (Like why is it failing in this situation.) I had a
look at Makefile.PL and PerlVINC.pm, though I have to read up on
DynaLoader, ExtUtils::MakeMaker and Apache::ExtUtils, I think I get the
gist of it. For instance should PerlINC's 'errmsg' in Makefile.PL say 'a
path' instead of 'On or Off'? But I presume that doesn't make any
difference to my situation.
