Hi Monks, I have been given a perl module to use but don't have the correct permissions to install in on my server. I have been told that one way around this is to create a folder in my home directory called 'Plug-in' and then put the file into it.

How can i then use this in my perl script? How can I tell perl to look for the module in this location?

I have tried the following: 

# module is in ~/Plug-ins/Find.pm
use Plug-ins::Find;

But I get this error: 

Can't locate Plug.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /biol/programs/perl580/li
+b/5.8.0/i686-linux /biol/programs/perl580/lib/5.8.0 /biol/programs/pe

Kind regards
