Memo from Martin P Burns of PricewaterhouseCoopers

-------------------- Start of message text --------------------

Alternatively, you can do as I do:

#this gets commented out if @INC is working OK without it
$REQUIRE_DIR = '/full/path/to/dir/with/subroutines/like/your/cgi-bin/';


#This is standard boilerplate in all my scripts:
# Push the $REQUIRE_DIR onto the @INC array for include file directories.
if ($REQUIRE_DIR ne '') {
    push(@INC, $REQUIRE_DIR);
}

     At the beginning of your script, add a lib
     statement with the path like so:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use lib "/perl/foo/lib";
use GD;
