Our project team has developed Perl-madness, and so far we have about 72 scripts we wrote specifically for our baseline. It's now reached the point I think it would be appropriate to incorporate a lot of the common functionality into a module. The problem is that we all keep our scripts on a network drive so everyone can access them, the problem is that in order to create a module (.pm) I would need to place it in the my local \Perl\Lib directory (unless I'm wrong), but doing so makes it harder to maintain, everyone would have to copy this file to their respective \Perl\Lib directory, and everytime I change it I'd have to repeat the process. So my question is:

Is there a way to place a .pm module at a remote location, but through some kind of forwarding reference tell it where to find it? If not, I guess the next question is how would I refer to the module within my script... 

   use //server/dir1/dir2/jojo.pm?
