Thanks Abigail

Are you sure you need the 'use lib' in the "second thing"? For me it works with just the 'use Totally::Fake', without the need of 'use lib'.

I've double-checked it and stripped it down to it's barest bones:

### Totally/Fake.pm
use strict;

package Totally::Fake;
our @ISA = qw(Exporter);
our ($fake, $faker);
our @EXPORT = qw($fake $faker);

### my_script.pl
use strict;

# uncomment this to make it work
# use lib '/long/path/to/nowhere';

use Totally::Fake;
print $fake;

... and I'm still getting the odd behaviour (perl 5.8.0).

Also note that "-M Foo" is *not* the same as "use Foo;" ... -Mmodule executes "use" module ";" before executing your program. (perldoc perlrun)

Doesn't this mean -MFoo == use Foo; but -mFoo != use Foo;? In that -M will call the import routine for the default set of symbols, but -m will not call it.
