I am newbie in this list, but I have some experience with mod_perl. I use apache 1.3 with statically linked mod_perl 1.29 on Fedora Core III, i386. Now I started development of Apache::MyModule from scratch. I don't want to install MyModule.pm into standard perl directories now, so I want to install into /usr/local/myproject/...
If I export the PERL5LIB to bash environment and then start apache with this environment, PerlModule Apache::MyModule in httpd.conf causes no problems. But if I don't export PERL5LIB into environment and try to declare exactly the same value via PerlSetEnv PERL5LIB "/usr/local/myproject/..." and then PerlModule Apache::MyModule, apache cannot start with error: Can't locate Apache/MyModule.pm in @INC...
Where is the problem? I see only one workaround, to create symbolic link on /usr/local/apache/lib/perl directory, which is in @INC. But I would like to understand, what is wrong on PerlSetEnv PERL5LIB, and, of course, the clear way how to load modules on non-perl paths.
