Not sure what you're expecting to happen when you say it didn't change.  Are you expecting to manipulate @INC permanently?  That's not how it works.  use lib ... changes @INC only for the lifetime of the script.  Also, use lib doesn't take a space-separated string of directories, but a list of directories, if you need more than one.

Consider this: 

#!/usr/bin/perl -wl
use strict;

BEGIN { print for @INC; print "-----" }
use lib "/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/AnyEvent/Iml", "/foo/bar";
BEGIN { print for @INC; print "-----" }

# use here whatever module lives in one of the added paths...

As you can see in the second printout of @INC (after the use lib), the two directories have been added.

P.S.:  please use <p>...</p> (text paragraph) and <c>...</c> (code) tags to format your posts.

For example, typing 

<p> inserting into the script: </p>
<c>
use lib "/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/AnyEvent/Iml";
</c>
<p> also does not change the entry. </p>

will render as

inserting into the script: 

use lib "/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/AnyEvent/Iml";

[download]

also does not change the entry.
