I use cygwin (with and without perl) and ActiveState perl in a variety of
situations. To modify @INC so that Apache uses the right one in the right
situation I was using a begin block to modify @INC where needed. Then I
thought a module might be more to the point:
#!E:/Perl/bin/perl -w # my path to a particular perl flavor
package APApache; # call it what ever you might deem appropriate
BEGIN {
my $addinc;
my $i = 0;
foreach (@INC) {
if (m|^/usr(/.+)|) { # here I use a regex to go after /usr/.....
$addinc = "/cygdrive/e/perl".$1; #and replace it with the path to an
alternate perl install
$INC[$i] = $addinc;
}
$i++;
}
}
1;
The advantage of this approach is that it is easy to modify and
I can use the 'standard' /usr/bin/perl then
use APApache;
This particular package sits in the CGI-Bin directory and allows me to have
my script access ActivePerl when it needs to.
