How to change @INC in Strawberry Perl?

Question

How can I change @INC permanently, without changing my scripts, in Strawberry Perl?

I'm aware of -I, but don't want to invoke that switch every time.

To prepend paths, set environment variable PERL5LIB to those paths.

Note: This will affect all installations of Perl you run when this is effect.

Howto: Right-click (My) Computer, Properties, Advanced, Environment Variables, (the top) New. You will probably have to restart already running consoles to get the change.

Alternatively you can use :

use lib /my/other/direcotry

or

push (@INC , /my/other/direcotry)

to change the value of @INC.

That would require me to edit my scripts or their invocations, though. – Tim Aug 14 '12 at 07:23
