Ah, the directory is known from the beginning. That makes things easier. There's no need to unshift anything, since you can use lib(*).

#!/usr/bin/perl
## untested
use warnings;
use strict;

my ($g_commonMount, $g_moduleDir);
BEGIN {
  $g_commonMount = "/common_mount";
  $g_moduleDir = "$g_commonMount/include";
}
use lib $g_moduleDir;

sub file_watcher {
  while (1) {
    sleep 10, next unless -d $g_moduleDir;

    use autouse 'foo' => qw/foo/;
    foo;
  }
}

file_watcher;

I'm not particularly proud of the BEGIN block but maybe there's another way to do it. Also, instead of autouse(*), you can use require.

(*) CPAN seems down now, so the links to the modules may be wrong, since they are core and I don't know if one can link to them in the same fashion as any other.
