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

I offer this as advice and as a question
When faced with this situation, I have always used a flag in my shebang 
#!/path/to/perl -I.

[download]
Are there issues with doing that?

    It can easily fail: 
    #!perl -I.
#t.pl
use strict;
use warnings;
use XTest;
print "ok\n";
