10	make it easier to set custom Perl library paths	price		"Anders wrote a while ago:

'''
I talked with presbrey on Monday about his r403 (make suexec pass
through PYTHONPATH and PERL5LIB), which I reverted for security
concerns. The goal is to make it easier to use locally installed Python
or Perl libraries, without having to mess with sys.path or @INC in every
script. We came up with one possible solution, which is to have suexec
pass PYTHONPATH and PERL5LIB after sanitizing them to make sure they
only point to paths in the user's locker.

I came up with an alternative solution for Python that involves
significantly less work: I put the line

import site, os.path; site.addsitedir(os.path.expanduser(""~/lib/python2.5/site-packages""))

in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/00scripts-home.pth. ecprice and I
are going to try out this strategy with the HMMT server.

I don't know of a similar mechanism for Perl, though.
