Howto locate locally installed Perl module for a CGI script

[gund...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I have the following simple CGI script, just containg header:

__BEGIN__
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use CGI ':standard';
use lib "/home/myname/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/";
use Mail::Sendmail;
__END__

I also have included this directive in ~/public_html/.htaccess :

SetEnv PERL5LIB /home/myname/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5

Since I am not a root user I have installed my module locally
as shown in the directive above.

Now the problem is that my script above (called temp.cgi)
cannot recognize the location of my Perl module.
You can try it here:

http://defiant.i2r.a-star.edu.sg/~ewijaya/MyTest/cgi-bin/temp.cgi

Also in command line: $perl -cT temp.cgi
gave same problem of failure in recognizing Mail::Sendmail.

What's wrong with my setup? How can I let my cgi script
recognize the Mail::Sendmail module?

Hope to hear from you again.

Regards,
Gundala

I presume that in your /home/myname/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/
directory, you have a directory called Mail with Sendmail in that

If you do then I don't think you do not need to set the ENV variable

The requested URL /~ewijaya/MyTest/cgi-bin/temp.cgi ... means that the
script can't be found. Does it exist, is the spelling and path correct
and is it executable?

Do you have other cgi scripts that do work, or is this the first one,
maybe the web server is configured to look for home directory cgi
scripts somewhere else? You don't say
