Does anyone know how to use a Perl module without actually installing it in the lib/perl directory? I have the module installed in the same directory as my Perl code. I have tried setting the PERL5LIB environment variable and using findbin, but to know avail. Below is a snippet of setting the environment variable and some of my code. 
prompt> setenv PERL5LIB /home/mydir/perlbin

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

use FindBin;
use lib "$FindBin::Bin";
use CPANModule;

...

Result: 
Can't locate CPANModule.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /home/mydir/perlbin
+ /usr/local/lib/perl5
 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at myprog.pl line 5.

CPANModule.pm resides in the /home/mydir/perlbin directory, so I don't see where the problem is - and it has permissions to read and execute. Is there a way to use this module locally (without installing it)? Or do I just have to cut and paste the module code into my own code? Thanks.
