I think you should bite the bullet here and put in some time to learn the basics of module creation. While creating a formal module in the cpan vein is still a bit daunting for me, making simple things that only I use took relatively little time to get up and running.

I would suggest you take a look at the FindBin module as a good tool to help you get started testing modules in a project directory. I often use the two below lines of code to point to a lib directory relative where my script is running. $FindBin::Bin will be the directory where your script is running.

use FindBin;
use lib $FindBin::Bin . '/lib';
