in reply to how to get a module to work in a specific directory

Either way is fine. You can include the path of the module's directory in @INC or in the environment variable PERL5LIB (see perlrun). Or you can change directory in a BEGIN block prior to using the module:

BEGIN {chdir "/path/to/Desktop"}
since the current working directory (".") is in perl's search path.

--shmem
