How do I add a script specific lib path in mod_perl?

I'm trying to migrate CGI scripts to mod_perl using ModPerl::Registry.

The scripts use modules that are in the same directory as the script, but since mod_perl current directory is elsewhere, that doesn't work.

I tried using FindBin to add on to the @INC, but here's what FindBin looks like:

$FindBin::Bin: /usr/sbin
$FindBin::Script: httpd

Which is no use at all.

So, is there a way for the script to figure out where it is, and add that directory to @INC? Ideally, all the other scripts using the same Apache server wouldn't get that directory added to their @INC.

Solution 
  • use File::Basename;
use lib dirname( __FILE__ );
