Re^3: Overriding default libs

Then you should use lib "/tmp/custom_module/lib/perl5";. (Perl should be able to guess the "x86_64-linux-thread-multi" bit.)

perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'

That worked perfectly, Thanks. How deep(how many sub-directory levels) does perl look when given a path for `use lib /path/...` ?	[reply] [d/l]

It doesn't look any levels down. If you: `use lib "/tmp"; use Foo::Bar;` [download] ... then Perl will use "/tmp/Foo/Bar.pm", but not "/tmp/x/Foo/Bar.pm". The exception for your CPU architecture name (in your case "x86_64-linux-thread-multi") is due to some trickery by `use lib` which automatically detects those directories if they exist (and look like proper locations containing architecture-specific libraries), and unshifts two entries onto `@INC` instead of the normal one. `perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
