PerlMonks now uses this: 

use lib "/home/onthe/range";        # For when this is compiled
lib->import("/home/onthe/range");   # For subsequent hits

The first is needed for if you have any 'use' statements happening at compile-time of your main script. The second is needed if you have any use/require statements happening at run time (and are using mod_perl).

We used to have a config file that set this up seperately for all of our scripts but it just disappeared one day (or I'd tell what it did to provide you another alternative). (And before that we had a bunch of 'use lib' statements everywhere we did use/require at run time.)

Note: The terms "compile time" and "run time" are a bit ambiguous. Sometimes they are used to refer to the per-statement compile vs. run times. Sometimes they are used to distinguish between before or after when the main script starts running "regular" code. I don't usually have difficulty telling which is meant so I'll just leave it at that. (:
