How can I require() a file when using Perl in CGI mode? Do I have to
modify @INC?
I don't really feel like making it a module, and putting it into Some
Well Known Location is something I don't feel like even more. It's
just a supporting file that I want to keep together with the rest of
the application.
/home/stf/public_html/test/arcv/public_html/../common.pl
I believe the ../ in there may be what's throwing things off. That
would probably interpolate as
/home/stf/public_html/test/arcv/common.pl
... which, unless that is indeed where common.pl is located, would
generate the error you're seeing.
To answer your question, yes, you can absolutely do a require
"/full/path/to/file.pl" just like that without modifying @INC.
