What if you delete the %INC entry (delete $INC{'Blah/Blah.pm'} for removing Blah::Blah) before the second require ... In my experiments (*), that allows me to have the require work again:

./lib/Blah/Blah.pm: 

package Blah::Blah;
use 5.012; # strict, //
use warnings;
$| = 1;
print "Loading Blah::Blah at " . scalar(localtime) . "\n";
1;

./example.pl: 

#!perl

use 5.012; # strict, //
use warnings;

use lib './lib';

$| = 1;

require Blah::Blah;
print "example separator\n";
delete $INC{'Blah/Blah.pm'};
print "entry deleted\n";
sleep(2);
require Blah::Blah;
print "example separator\n";

output: 

Loading Blah::Blah at Thu Apr  7 06:17:19 2022
example separator
entry deleted
Loading Blah::Blah at Thu Apr  7 06:17:21 2022
example separator

Edit: add footnote: *: well, at the command line; I admit I didn't try in a pp executable
