Where to change @INC in perl

Hi,
I am newbie to the perl.=0D
I have installed DBI perl module in FreeBSD under this directory
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503.
But FreeBSD already contains perl5 under /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7.
# Perl -V
Built under freebsd
Compiled at Oct 12 2005 01:26:55
@INC:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/mach
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7/BSDPAN
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7/mach
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7
I want include libraries from /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503 also.
But this DBI libraries does not include in @INC.
I want to change manually. Can anyone tell me where do I change this
@INC.
Thanks=0D
Narmadha

The only way to change @INC is to recompile Perl (seriously).
But you can add something to @INC at runtime:
perldoc -q runtime

Hi Sami,
Thanks for the reply. I cannot change the *.cgi files. Is there anyway=
for setting the libraries manually.

See perldoc perlrun for how to include a directory in @INC, which is wher=
e perl looks for libraries:
-I*directory*
Directories specified by -I are prepended to the search path for=
modules (@INC), and also tells the C preprocessor where to searc=
h
for include files. The C preprocessor is invoked with -P; by
default it searches /usr/include and /usr/lib/perl.

I keep my perl programs in *.pl files (for example "test.pl") and I run
them with "perl test.pl".

Found in perlfaq8.pod:
How do I add a directory to my include path (@INC) at runtime?
Here are the suggested ways of modifying your include path:
the PERLLIB environment variable
the PERL5LIB environment variable
the perl -Idir command line flag
the use lib pragma, as in
use lib "$ENV{HOME}/myown_perllib";
The latter is particularly useful because it knows about machine
dependent architectures. The lib.pm pragmatic module was first included
with the 5.002 release of Perl.

Hi Narmadha
(Please bottom-post your answers and remove all irrelevant sigs and so on,
otherwise threads can easily get impossible to understand after a few posts in
this list. Thanks.)
If you can't modify the CGI programs then what can you modify? I'm not sure what
you mean by 'manually'. You could alter Apache's httpd.conf and add
PerlSetEnv PERL5LIB /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503
but do you have access to the server setup?
HTH,
Rob

Why did you do that when it wasn't one of the libraries that your
Perl binary is looking for? Also, why 5.5.3, when you're obviously
running 5.8.7?
If you use the CPAN.pm module to install DBI, it will build it properly
and install it into the "site_perl" directories for your machine.
Do that instead.
You *cannot* change the default @INC. If you want to run unmodified
programs with locally installed modules, those modules *must* be installed
in the listed directories.

Please either:
(a) turn off this disclaimer
or (b) subscribe from an address that doesn't do this
These disclaimers are unenforcable, and just plain annoying.

| How did you install the module? you should be able to just
# cd /usr/ports/databases/p5-DBI/ && make install clean
and it'll work like a charm. That's all I did. For modules that exist
in the ports tree, I find that installing them this way is cleaner
than perl -MCPAN -e "install foo::bar" because the freebsd package
management tools will update everything for you. Note that if you have
a different version of the module installed in
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503, they might conflict. I'd remove that and
start over.
