Re: [mh] DateTime::Locale

Paul,

MH has a bunch of stand-alone binaries in addition to bin/mh that all 
manipulate the library search list (aka @INC). To change it thoroughly, 
you'd have to manipulate about 30 files.  However, you're probably just 
interested in changing the bin/mh program itself. It looks to me like 
you've got a couple of options, short of modifying the code directly:

First, at start-up MH logs the contents of @INC.  Just grep the 
print/log for 'Perl @INC contains'. Once you have that, you could place 
your modules in any of the directories that appear before lib/site.

Another possibility would be to modify the lib_dir configuration value 
to add a new directory with your code in it. Navigate your way through 
the MH web interface menus to the INI Editor (on my system from the home 
page it's "Mr. House Home" -> "Setup MrHouse" -> "INI Editor").  Then in 
the "Directory" category you'll find "lib_dir", which was blank on my 
system.  Add your new directory in. restart MH, and the log should show 
your new directory at the head of the @INC list. I've never used it, but 
testing just now indicates that it works.

The more knowledgeable folks on this mailing list may have better ideas, 
but one of these might get you going.
