remove directory from @INC

[Huub van Niekerk]

Hi,

Sorry if this is the wrong group.

Using Fedora Linux, due to system changes the path to the Perl modules
has changed. I've found that @INC contains the new path, but it's placed
after the old path. So now I'm getting messages that modules can't be
found in @INC anymore. The docs I've read all tell me that I have to use
perl -I<name> to add a directory. But how do I remove the old paths?

Than you for helping out.

Remove them in a BEGIN{} block before any `use` module statements. You
can also add directories by `use lib 'directory';` See `perldoc lib`.

Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.

I like Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your
thingy.

Thank you for your answer.

I changed the beginning of my code to this:

#!/usr/bin/perl
no lib "/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/";
use lib "/usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/";
use DBI;
use strict;
use warnings;
use PostScript::Simple;

No errors are given anymore in the editor. However, when I run the code,
this message is still given:

install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't load
'/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so'
for module DBD::mysql: libssl.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi//DynaLoader.pm line 203.
at (eval 3) line 3

In Fedora 12, libssl.so.8 has been replaced by libssl.so.10. Can you give me
an idea on how to solve this?

Thank you for helping out.

Well I have no idea if it will solve your problem, but try one of these;

a. make a symbolic link between libssl.so.8 and libssl.so.10
b. or simply copy libssl.so.10 as lbssl.so.8

Thank you. Didn't think of "ln -s". That works now.
