I'm relatively new to mod_perl, so forgive me if this has been asked 100
times:
I'm running under Windows 2000, with Apache 1.3.20, Mod_Perl 1.25_1 and
ActivePerl Build 628.
I've worked my way through several examples, and have come up against I
problem I can't answer. When I want to include a module in my script, I can't
change the @INC variable appropriately. What happens is this:
I put "PerlSetEnv PERL5LIB "e:/websites/perl" into my httpd.conf file as this
is where I want my modules to live. Yes, it needs the drive letter, as I have
applications and data scattered all over.
The trouble is, when I run the script, I get:
[Mon Jul 16 13:17:09 2001] [error] Uncaught exception from user code:
Uncaught exception from user code:
Can't locate Counter.pm in @INC (@INC contains: D:/apps/perl/lib
D:/apps/perl/site/lib . d:/apps/apache/ d:/apps/apache/lib/perl e
/websites/perl) at e:/websites/perl/doit.pl line 5.
Apache::ROOT::perl::doit_2epl::BEGIN() called at Counter.pm line 5
eval {...} called at Counter.pm line 5
eval 'package Apache::ROOT::perl::doit_2epl;use Apache qw(exit);sub
handler {
#line 1 e:/websites/perl/doit.pl
...
The important part to note is the "e /websites/perl" in @INC.
Now obviously the PERL5LIB is a colon separated list, so it's parsing
correctly, and breaking up my path.
The question is: How do I escape the colon, or specify it in another way, so
that it DOESN'T get parsed apart?
Someone must have an answer.
Thanks.
