Re^4: Undefined import name priority issue?

Thanks: that is it exactly... should not have "use lib 'mylib';" at all, isn't needed because I want mylib.pm to reference mylib::json.

You shouldn't have used `use mylib;` if you use `use mylib::json;` and if the module uses `package mylib::json;`, correct. You shouldn't have used `use lib` in modules. If you got that far, Perl already knows where modules can be found. You shouldn't have used `use lib '.';` because the current work directory isn't guaranteed to be the script's directory. You should be using `use FindBin qw( $RealBin ); use lib $RealBin;` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

use FindBin qw( $RealBin );
use lib $RealBin;
