Re^3: How to add a file to @INC path in perl

That's actually before compile-time. Good thing too, because it would be useless to change @INC at run time.

I change `@INC` at run-time all the time. What you're probably confused about is that '`use Some::Module`' normally happens at compile-time (actually it happens in a virtual `BEGIN` block) and that is how most people interact with `@INC`. However, you can defer `use`ing modules by doing it in a string-`eval`, or you can use `require`, or `do`. And there are all kinds of evil tricks you can play by putting code-refs into @INC.
