I have a class A whose instance variable is a hash reference. One of the values is a reference to an array of hash. I want to create an additional class B whose objects are elements of this array.

I have a library directory $HOME/lib for my modules and have made a subdirectory AAA where module A lives and expect to use lib "$ENV{HOME}/lib"; (except it will be literally defined, without ENV), but that might not be right.

Because my question is: Where should these modules actually be located, how should I include them best in @INC and how should I therefore reference their methods? Let's say for simplicity we just have four methods here: both have a 'new', A has a method addB to insert B's objects into the mentioned array inside A's instance variable and B has a method 'process' that only knows about its given instance of B.

Thanks for any advice.
