in thread Modules 101 :: Using a Local Module from CPAN

Thanks choroba,

I'm afraid either solution doesn't work. When I change my script to:

use lib '/path/to/my/local/directory/'; use Script::Singleton; # Line 6

...the output is still:

Can't locate Script/Singleton.pm in @INC (you may need to install the +Script::Singleton module) (@INC contains: /home/demo/pullWorkload/scp +LRSIControllerDir/toys/ /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/per +l/5.30.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.30.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5 +/5.30 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.30 /usr/share +/perl/5.30 /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-ba +se) at ./testMe.perl line 6.

I note that the use lib must specify the directory, not the .PM file, BTW.

If the use lib doesn't add /path/to/my/local/directory/ to @INC, I'm at a loss on what might be the problem. Any thoughts...? Thank you for writing.
