Re: Loading Local Modules

Just a hunch, could you not unshift @INC with the desired path, where you install all the relevant modules, matching versions and all

Update:
You might need to do this in a BEGIN block or at least before use-ing the modules

How is the trivial difference between this and use lib; supposed to address the OP's problem?

From perldoc lib:

        Saying

           use lib LIST;

       is almost the same as saying

           BEGIN { unshift(@INC, LIST) }

       For each directory in LIST (called $dir here) the lib module also
       checks to see if a directory called $dir/$archname/auto exists.  If so
       the $dir/$archname directory is assumed to be a corresponding architec-
       ture specific directory and is added to @INC in front of $dir.
