I developed a small web-application for use on my home network. Now I have the first stable version, and I want to put the stable files in separate places and continue developing while my family can start using the app.

What I basically need is a mechanism to make a script state 'I want version 0.5 of module Some::Module' and get exactly this version, no higher.

After some super searching and reading the docs for require and use, I came up with the following solutions:

• unshift a sub into @inc that knows how to find any version. This could be done by a special module that does all the dirty work
• manually unshift the place of the required version into @INC

But it seems to me that there must be better solutions since I can't be the first one to deal with that.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Yosef.
