It appears that the "." directory is in @INC, but the script cannot find
it even though DG_DatabaseManager.pm is in the same directory as
test.cgi. Am I wrong in thinking that "." represents the
"c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-bin\develop\shp_crt" directory when that is
where test.cgi is located?
Yes
I think that might need a bit of clarification.
if there is a "test.cgi" in the same directory as the DG_DatabaseManager.pm, then his assumption would seem to be mostly correctish, IF the IIS actually DOES the 'chdir' to the directory where the test.cgi code resides.
A simple test would be to make a simple
base_test.cgi
that would do the simple form of stuff
### #!/usr/bin/perl
### use strict;
### use warnings;
### use Cwd;
### BEGIN {
### use FindBin qw($Bin);;
### use lib "$Bin" ;
### }
### my $iam = cwd;
### print "Content-type: text/plain \n\n I am at: $iam\n";
###
### print "$_ \n" foreach(@INC);
###this would tell Ron where exactly IIS was when that code was invoked in a browser.
You may either add
use lib 'c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-bin\develop\shp_crt';
I'm becoming a BIG FAN of the FindBin solution especially in the case of CGI code, saves on the problem of knowing where the code is...
Especially if the Web Server is not doing the expected part of the CGI approach of doing the chdir into the directory where the code is.
