I'm using a server provider that doesn't allow me to install into standard perl locations, so I used PREFIX to install things in my home dir. The problem is that when the wrapper is run by the CGI server, it can't find the perl modules I installed. There didn't seem to be a way to set the PERL5LIB from the standard config, so I added one. Patch attached. Or did I miss something and this was already possible? -diff --git a/IkiWiki/Wrapper.pm b/IkiWiki/Wrapper.pm -index 79b9eb3..e88118b 100644 ---- a/IkiWiki/Wrapper.pm -+++ b/IkiWiki/Wrapper.pm -@@ -37,6 +41,13 @@ sub gen_wrapper () { #{{{ - EOF - } - -+ my $wrapperperllib=""; -+ if (defined $config{wrapperperl5lib}) { -+ $wrapperperllib =<<"EOF" -+ newenviron[i++]="PERL5LIB=$config{wrapperperl5lib}"; -+EOF -+ } -+ - $Data::Dumper::Indent=0; # no newlines - my $configstring=Data::Dumper->Dump([\%config], ['*config']); - $configstring=~s/\\/\\\\/g; -@@ -72,6 +83,7 @@ int main (int argc, char **argv) { - $envsave - newenviron[i++]="HOME=$ENV{HOME}"; - newenviron[i++]="WRAPPED_OPTIONS=$configstring"; -+$wrapperperllib - newenviron[i]=NULL; - environ=newenviron; - +> The standard way to do it is to set `INSTALL_BASE=$HOME` when running +> `Makefile.PL`.
