I recently put together a Gentoo server with apache and mod_perl. I'm trying to run a perl script that has a require statement for a local file, i.e.
require "database_util.pl" where database_util.pl is another perl file in the same directory. These scripts were running fine on another guy's server, but now I get a 500 Internal Server Error when I try to access them via web, and the apache error log says this: [Mon Jan 09 13:50:51 2006] [error] Can't locate database_util.pl in @INC (@INC contains: /home/httpd/perl /etc/perl /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6 /usr/local/lib/site_perl . /usr/lib/apache2) at /var/www/localhost/htdocs/latest/login.pl line 3.\n It's funny because the current directory (.) is in the list of places it looked, supposedly. Also, interestingly the script will run fine from the command prompt and duly chunk out the HTML that is supposed to show up on the web page. The permissions are set appropriately, so that shouldn't be an issue. I am a perl newbie so please forgive me if I don't know what I'm doing. I did a fair amount of searching and couldn't find a problem similary to this one. Thanks, Nick
