MHonArc v2.3.3 (Perl 5.005)
SunOS arcmx2 5.6 Generic_105181-07 sun4u sparc SUNW,UltraAX-MP
The Problem:
Our site-wide default resource file was not being read, even
though it was correctly installed in MHonArc-libary-path/DEFRCNAME
In mhopt.pl, line 224, the following statement is used
to read a possible default resource file:
$tmp = join($DIRSEP, $INC[0], $DefRcName) unless (-e $tmp);
However, the MHonARC libary path is in $INC[1] instead of $INC[0].
This is because of the following statement at line 37 in the
mahonarc script which inserts lib ahead of the site MHonArc library:
unshift(@INC, 'lib'); # Should I leave this line in?
A Simple Solution:
I found it sufficient to simply look in the first and second INC
dirctories. No doubt there is a more elegant fix.
