Setting PERL5LIB

Question

Can I set PERL5LIB in a seperate script and call that script in other scripts? How do I do it? And how would it affect the script in which it is used?

Thanks.

Answer 1

You'd do this via 'use lib' rather than manipulating the environment:

use lib '/home/perl5';

That could be in a separate file that you 'require' in.
