in reply to Perl5lib causes conflict?

You can put 
BEGIN { delete $ENV{PERL5LIB} }
use lib "<my application folder>/lib";

in your script before loading any modules, or write a wrapper that unsets PERL5LIB before starting your perlscript and use that instead of executing the perl script directly.

    Hello Moritz,

    Thanks for the reply. I am in fact using your second method of unsetting PERL5LIB variable through a batch file. Your first suggestion will not work for me because I do not know where my users may install the application ("<my application folder>"). I cannot rely on current folder because the launching of the script can be done from any folder.

    Regards.

      If the lib folder has a constant relation to the binary, you can use FindBin (core module) to find he path to the binary, and thus to the lib dir too.
