Hi,
I'm very new to perl, although I've used many other languages for
CGI/DB
programming. I think this must be a simple problem, but I've tried all
my
reference books without any luck.
I've been using some modules I wrote (not using h2x yet) on my test
server/work computer without any problem. I've always left the modules
in
the same directory as the .pl file, and perl would find it without any
errors.
I test on a Win XP Home Ed running ActivePerl 5.6, and Apache.
I then tried to send it to a production server, same files, running Win
NT,
IIS, and ActivePerl. The only scripts that fail are the ones that try
to
use modules in the same directory. I get the error:
__START__
Can't locate TemplateHandler.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/lib
C:/Perl/site/lib .) at
c:\websites\blessinganimal\cgi-bin\makechanges\edit.plx line 15.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
c:\websites\blessinganimal\cgi-bin\makechanges\edit.plx line 15.
__END__
(NOTE, I write my files as *.pl extensions, but to get CGI error
messages
(as opposed to no output), I have to save a copy with an 'plx' for
some
reason...that I really should know)
The code I'm running looks like (please excuse the mess):
__START__
use warnings;
use strict;
print "Content-Type: text/plain\n\n"; #to simplify CGI output
$main::INC[$#main::INC] =
"C:/websites/blessinganimal/cgi-bin/makechanges";
# compiles at least...
use TemplateHandler; #this causes all the trouble
print "inc is @INC"; #prints a string with all items
#seperated with a space, including
"C:/websites/blessinganimal..."
foreach my $item (@main::INC) {
print "'$item'\n"; #prints it all
}
print "Hello World";
__END__
If I leave 'use TemplateHandler;' commented out, it runs. If I don't
it
generates the error.
The output that results if I comment out the 'use TemplateHandler;'
line is:
inc is C:/Perl/lib C:/Perl/site/lib
C:/websites/blessinganimal/cgi-bin/makechanges'C:/Perl/lib'
'C:/Perl/site/lib'
'C:/websites/blessinganimal/cgi-bin/makechanges'
Hello World
This is running on a server farm that doesn't give the the capacity to
tweak
anything outside of the user directory.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Adding to the @INC array
doesn't seem to effect anything, and I don't know what else to try.
Thanks!
