When Perl modules aren't in their normal location (Score:1)

by clscott (4354)

You can use pragma called 'lib'.

In your program specify the directory where your modules are and then use them.
use lib 'privlibs'; # looks in ./privlibs use My::Priv::Lib; #./privlibs/My/Priv/Lib.pm

  So, this manipulates @INC as a search-path. Interesting. Learn something new every day, I do.
  Thanks.

Are you looking for the package function?

Or are you worried that you're going to define Foo::Bar and then someone else might define Foo::Bar and this will lead to ambiguity when you say use Foo::Bar?

  Yeah, the second one. It's stupid, and the lib function takes care of it.
  Thx,
