------- Comment #14 from muppet  2006-05-10 01:03 UTC -------
"require" does, indeed, happen at run time rather than at compile time, b=
ut
"use" is equivalent to "BEGIN { require Foo; import Foo; }".  This partic=
ular
module exports nothing, so there is nothing to import.  Also, a "use" in =
a
"require"'d module *does* take effect, just as it would in an "eval".

The problem is that you have .../Glib, .../Glib/Install, and .../Glib/Obj=
ect in
your @INC.  They do not belong there.  You should have in your path the
directory *containing* Glib.pm and the Glib directory, not the subdirecto=
ries.=20
Because you have .../Glib in your path, Glib/CodeGen.pm can now be found =
as
simply CodeGen.pm, which is not supposed to happen. This is precisely wha=
t i
was suggesting in comment #2.

In comment #3 you said you do not want to use environment variables.  I d=
on't
understand this, as you're setting PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and PKG_CONFIG_=
PATH
in all of the examples, and perl is designed to search the library paths =
listed
in PERL5LIB precisely to avoid having to edit scripts in order to use
nonstandard libraries.  If you insist on not using environment variables,=
 at
the very least remove the -I /.../Glib, -I /.../Glib/Install, and -I
/.../Glib/Object include directives.  I bet you your favorite beer that i=
t will
work.  :-)


(Perl translates the package separator "::" to directory separator "/" to=
 avoid
the need to add every directory containing a .pm file to your @INC.  By a=
dding
these extra directories, you're effectively breaking the library search
mechanism.)
