[Mapserver-users] Perl/Library Question

[Eric Bridger]

As usual there are many ways to do it. You need to alter the default
@INC array. You can use on first line of your script:
#!/usr/bin/perl -I/installs  # puts /installs at front of @INC.

or:
push @INC, '/installs';  # puts it at the end of @INC.

or:
use lib '/installs/';  # not sure where this puts it.  

But the order is important, if the two modules have identical names.

You might also try:
require '/installs/gd-2.0.15';

Of course, to get mapserver to use the new GD you'll need to recompile
it.
