One easy way to add paths to @INC is to use a loser or
system-wide environ variables (say, via /etc/profile)
PERL5LIB or PERLLIB. They are a collon-separated list
of pathnames; consult 'perldoc perlrun' for more details.

I'm familiar with $PERL5LIB, etc. but don't have the permissions needed to influence user environments to make that work. That's why I'm trying to use the configure hooks instead.
