Set the environment variable PERL5LIB

Perl will look for modules in the directories specified in PERL5LIB environment variable before looking in the standard library and current directory, so you can set this variable to locate your modules.

The syntax is the same you use for the PATH environment variables, so you separate the directories with colons on unix and with a semicolon on Windows.

Example: 
export PERL5LIB=/home/foobar/code

[download]

You can add this to the ~/.bashrc to make it always available when you log-in.

On Windows you can set the same in the cmd command window by typing

set PERL5LIB = c:\path\to\dir
All is well. I learn by answering your questions...
