in reply to How to use a .pm file in a .pl file in another directory.

I think you need something like this: use lib "path/to/Chess path/to/Chess/Piece"; 
use lib "path/to/Chess";
use Chess::Piece::Knight;
use Chess::Piece;

Oh, geeze this Piece directory as well as Piece.pm looks like trouble to me.

    use lib "path/to/Chess path/to/Chess/Piece";

    In this case, when you try to use Chess::Piece, Perl would look for "path/to/Chess path/to/Chess/Piece/Chess/Piece.pm" — so that likely won't work.

    Perl essentially does the following to create the full path: 

    use lib "searchpath";
use                 Chess::Piece;
                   /     /      .pm
=>      "searchpath/Chess/Piece.pm"
