G'day bliako,

Both Private::Work::Module and Private::OtherWork::OtherModule are in the same "@INC" directory. Dancer2 finds the latter but not the former. Why would it find one but not the other?

I thought you might be on to something with FindBin but a few tests indicate that's not the case. If /path/to/bin/../lib doesn't exist, it still gets prepended to @INC. Having a non-existent directory in @INC does not cause Perl any problems.

$ alias perle
alias perle='perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -Mautodie=:all -MCarp::Always -E
+'

$ ls -al /home/ken/tmp/zxc/bin/../lib
ls: cannot access '/home/ken/tmp/zxc/bin/../lib': No such file or dire
+ctory

ken@titan ~/tmp/zxc/bin
$ perle 'use FindBin; use lib "$FindBin::Bin/../lib"; use JSON; say $J
+SON::VERSION; say $INC{"JSON.pm"}; say for @INC;'

Thanks for the suggestions anyway.
