Dear holli,

Thanks so much for the reply, however after following your suggestion with this header in mycode.pl 
use strict;
use warnings;
use lib "/home/neversaint/MyPerl/src";
use MYPACKAGE;

[download]
what I get is this... 
~/MyPerl/src $ perl -c src/mycode.pl 

# gives

Can't locate MYPACKAGE.pm in @INC (@INC contains: home/neversaint/MyPe
+rl/src /home/neversaint/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-m
+ulti/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi

[download]
In MYPACKAGE.pm what I have is this: 
# plain header nothing here...
# straight go to the functions....

sub some_func { 
# do sth; 
return $soth }

1;

[download]
Although I have no problem at all running mycode.pl in src/ directory : ~/MyPerl $ perl mycode.pl someparam

Did I still miss anything?
