Unfortunately I don't think there's a way to signal that the remaining parts of @INC should be ignored, so I think you'd need to clean out the rest of @INC and perform the search for the other modules in your subroutine. I suspect that an update to the API for this situation might be welcomed. -- Paul Johnson - paul@pjcj.net http://www.pjcj.netThread Previous | Thread Next
