in thread newbie question: can't use my own lib in crob job

I try 
use File::Basename;

my $cwd = dirname $0;
my $libpath = $cwd."/lib";

require "$libpath/My/Ownmodule.pm";

[download]

it is work normally. And putting "require File::Basename;" inside the BEGIN block can't solve the problem

What is the difference between "require" and "use" ? Are there any disadvantage to use "require" to replace "use" ?

I am in doubt whether there are any other method can make me to use  "use lib "xxxx"

thanks!

      I am so sorry because my native language is not English.So I can't express my question exactly.

      My question is : is it possible that use "use lib" in my cron job?

      I don't know whether I express clearly.

      thanks!

        How about this 
           use lib "$ENV{HOME}/lib";

        [download]
        and then you tell users they must keep the module in ~/lib

      I am so sorry English is not my native language.So I can't express my question exactly.

      My question is:

      How can I use use lib "xxx/mylib" in my script if I don't use require "xxx/mylib/sss.pm"? I just want to know whether it is possible .

      thanks!
