in thread prove can't find my module, even though its directory is in $INC[0]

> My example showing how Perl could find the module was actually perldoc -l which correctly identified the source as /home/henry/gitr/MAS/lib.

Better don't count on that, AFAIR is perldoc using another mechanism to locate documentation.

    Rather try this 
    $ perl -MMAS::Global -e0

    [download]

    And compare the error message (if it occurs) 

    
Can't locate MAS/Global.pm in @INC (you may need to install the MAS::G
+lobal module) 
(@INC entries checked: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/
+5.38.2 ... YADDA YADDA ... /usr/local/lib/site_perl).
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

    next step would be to dump @INC inside a BEGIN{ } right before the use MAS::Global in order to spot differences to successful imports. 

     
perl -e'BEGIN {warn join " ",@INC};use MAS::Global'
