Perl - cPanel V3 and the @INC

Modifying @INC in a SCRIPT

use Module;

is executed during compile time so if you modify the @INC array at run time it will not be reflected back in the compile time. So if you have to include any more include locations in the @INC inside a script, give it inside the BEGIN { }block.

BEGIN
{
    push @INC,"location";
}

The BEGIN blocks are executed during compile time. So @INC is updated at compile time and the use module are correctly searched for in the updated directories.

cPanel-v3 Script

my $homedir = (getpwuid($>))[7];
my $n_inc = scalar @INC;
for (my $i = 0; $i < $n_inc; $i++ ) {
     if (-d $homedir . '/perl' . $INC[$i]) {
         unshift(@INC,$homedir . '/perl' . $INC[$i]);
         $n_inc++;
         $i++;
     }
}

This script dint work for me much, so I manually included the include locations into the BEGIN segment.

#! /usr/bin/perl -w
BEGIN {
unshift @INC,"/home/directory/perl/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/";
}
