call application command from specific mojolicious installation

Question

I need to call my own mojolicious command from command line, using specific mojolicius intallation (System version of mojolicius is too old, and I can't update it). How can I do this?

something like:

$ ./kraih-mojo-97e88d1/script/mojo my_app/script/my_app my_command

will be great!

Answer 1

For quick-and-dirty solution try adding use lib '/path/to/kraih-mojo-97e88d1/lib'; statement to your my_app script and run command as

perl my_app/script/my_app my_command

Answer 2

If you want to do a similar thing to the answer by melhesedek, but without changing your code, try using the -I switch to the perl interpreter:

perl -I/path/to/kraih-mojo-97e88d1/lib my_app/script/my_app my_command

or you can use the PERL5LIB environment variable, which you could set in your local environment, or prefix the command, like so:

PERL5LIB=/path/to/kraih-mojo-97e88d1/lib ./my_app/script/my_app my_command

Also, I personally believe that the lib module is too magical for my taste. It's not readily apparent in every-day use, but it should NEVER be used in say CPAN code. Just fyi.
