Installing a module	Can't Post

Hi,
I need to use a module but I have to install the module not to a Perl folder but some ware on the network.
I thought I could use a few extra lines in my script to use that module.
It does not work.
Could you help me please?
Thanks, testerV

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Find;
use File::Copy;
use File::Rsync;

my $modules ='C:\\Perl_Modules\\File-Rsync-0.42'; ## this is the module I want to use ##
BEGIN {
$scriptPath = "C:\\PERL_TEST\\TestFile_Dirr\\Module.pl"; ## this is my script ##
unshift(@INC,"$scriptPath $mod");
print "@INC are paths\n";}

Code

I'm not sure if you need help with installing the module into a custom location, or the proper syntax in the script to load modules located in the custom directory.

To load the module in the script you'll want to use the lib pragma to add the custom directory to the @INC path prior to loading the module.

example

Code

use lib 'C:/Perl_Modules'; 
use File::Rsync;

To install a module to a custom directory, you need to set the PREFIX option in the call to Makefile.PL

This page covers several methods of installing modules.

The first 4 hits on a simple google search for "rsync examples" are all good and took less time to find and review them than it takes to post the request for examples.

Thanks Fish, I�ve seen them, they are all for UNIX.
I�m looking for Windows tutorials.
