<P>
Here are the suggested ways of modifying your include path:
<P>
<PRE> the PERLLIB environment variable
the PERL5LIB environment variable
the perl -Idir commpand line flag
the use lib pragma, as in
use lib "$ENV{HOME}/myown_perllib";
</PRE>
<P>
The latter is particularly useful because it knows about machine dependent
architectures. The lib.pm pragmatic module was first included with the
5.002 release of Perl.
