I agree that my approach burns the users who execute my scripts, should somebody on my team create a Symbol.pm... However, what (I think) my approach avoids is the case that:

  1. somebody sets up PERL5LIB to point to our libs, as a matter of course while setting up their day-to-day working environment (because they intend to run our scripts pretty regularly), and then
  2. runs something that's got nothing to do with our scripts, and gets burned because our (badly-named) libraries take precedence

My boilerplate approach only hurts invocations of my scripts; the PERL5LIB approach hurts invocations of all scripts. Potentially.

I do like the idea of using a team-specific namespace... That seems clean, and enables me to leverage PERL5LIB. Thanks!
