in reply to ADD directory to @INC using a string variable

The following will work:
unshift @INC, $path;
Warning: this will only take effect at run-time, so any module loaded with use will not see this as use works at compile time.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James

    So I can do a require in place of use and it should work correct? Regards, Siddharth
      Yes, that will work. But remember that require is not the same as use: the import sub will not be called
