How is Perl's INC set?


I have two Linux systems. One the RH 9 system, INC points to
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi

On my Kubuntu system, INC points to
/etc/perl

What initially sets INC?

What technique is preferred to modify it?

Either perl itself during compilation or the package maintainer of your distribution who is setting it elsewhere.

You can put Perl stuff anywhere you want and add any directory to @INC, but you can't add "." while using the taint mode.

You can add the directory to PERL5LIB or
you can add use lib 'directory'; to your perl script or
you can push your directory onto @INC in a BEGIN block like

BEGIN { push @INC,"/home/you/yourperlstuff/";}


(Really depends on your personal preferences and what else do you want to do..
