Difficulties with @INC

I have a project that includes files that reference a .pm in a folder not
included in the project. Even though I have included the path to that .pm
in the project properties "Perl Include Path", the Problems window shows
the error "Can't locate myexternal.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/Lib
C:/Perl/site/lib)". What do I need to do to have the warning correctly show
@INC that includes my additional search paths?

I have tried both forward- and backward-slashes in the Perl Include Path
entries. Neither seems to change this.

I'm using EPIC 0.5.24, Eclipse 3.2.1.

Thanks for any assistance.

Well, mystery solved, and I'm pleased to report it was a rookie error and
nothing to do with EPIC. The error message was being generated by a separate
project, whose @INC had not been changed. (I am sorry to have posted an
erroneous question).

I do have a followup question - if I wanted to manually run the syntax check
(i.e. from a console rather than from within Eclipse), what is the command
for that?

The command is "perl -c". Of course, you also need to specify your include
path if you try it (for example "perl -I c:/this -I c:/that -c script.pl").

Thanks! Just what I needed.
