Re: [MacPerl] perl tool under MPW - @INC behaviour

}For the most part it's a trivial matter to add the -I switch when calling
}perl, but I'm wondering why prepending paths to @INC in the script itself
}doesn't seem to work when called from MPW?  Some of my scripts do just
}this, in which case it becomes slightly non-trivial to have to remember
}the lib search paths to pass from MPW (yes, I could move these lib folders
}into the main lib folder, but I shouldn't have to).  These scripts work
}fine using the MacPerl app.

If you're adding paths to @INC by unshifting or pushing them on, it's
because "use" happens before anything else.  Adding paths to @INC doesn't
happen this way until after (Mac)Perl has failed to find the libraries.

But there's a solution:

use lib LIST;

which adds libraries to @INC at compile time. (LIST of course is a Perl
list of paths).

}
}So, is this a "feature" of the MacPerl tool (or MPW even), or am I just
}doing something wrong?
