in reply to Howto set path for local package in a Perl code

use lib "home/neversaint/MyPerl/src/mypackage.pm";

That's almost certainly wrong. The path should probably start with a '/'. And use lib only contains paths to library directories. You need a separate use statement to actually load the module.

use lib '/home/neversaint/MyPerl/src/';
use mypackage;

(And, as holli says, you shouldn't give a module a lower case name)

Alternatively, you might look at the FindBin module.

    Example: Use FindBin and your script will work no matter where you move it and its modules together. 
    use FindBin;
use lib "$FindBin::Bin";
use MyPackage;

    use lib only adds the path to @INC, you still need to use MyPackage after it.
