Perl and Apache

[rois]

I have a perl script that runs perfectly when i run from the command prompt.
When I execute via apache2 it does NOT run because it cannot locate region.pm which i need for the script. region.pm is in the same folder as the script.
when i remove it it works.
It also works when i include "use lib 'script_folder' ;" !

I believe it has to do with apache and paths.
The apache error log gives message "Can't locate region.pm in @INC".
I have added the path to @INC but still doesn't work!

Any Ideas?????

Do you add the directory where the script is located into your @INC?

@INC contains the list of directories where Perl will look for installed modules. If you have your own, then you are going to have to add, in your script, the directory where your perl module is being kept.

Here is a link that shows you what I am talking about.

here are paths in @INC and the last one /data1/flystaydrive/rois is the path where both the perl script and region.pm are located

If it is in the @INC path, then you need to make sure that other factors, like permissions on that directory or the modules are not keeping you from accessing them.

I think the problem is that the "lib" folder is outside of the apache folder. Not sure if Apache will include a folder from just anywhere on the hard drive. Move the folder and the script into the apache folder and retry.

I believe that the problem lies with apache and not perl! I have another linux server and I have tried it and it works as it is! I will try and reinstall apache.
