Alternatively, as all you're doing is adding a non-existant path to the include list, you can simply

use lib '/path/to/the/module';
use Net::POP3;
[download]

That will have Perl look in the lib path you specify, as well as in @INC, for the Net::POP3 (and all subsequent) modules.

Hope that helps.
