Dear Masters,
Suppose I have a code (mycode.pl) which uses my self created package (MyPackage.pm), and this package is stored under subdirectory ./modules_src/MyPackage.pm. My question is how can I appropriately call MyPackage.pm from mycode.pl?

I tried this but doesn't seem to work: 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# mycode.pl

use 'modules_src/MyPackage';  # how can do this correctly?

my $start = new Sth::MyPackage;
# etc...

The overall code directory structure look simply like this: 
~/MyPerl
    |
    |_modules_src
       |_MyPackage.pm
    |
    |_mycode.pl

[download]
And inside MyPackage.pm looks like this 
package Sth:MyPackage;

use 5.005;
use strict;
use vars qw( @ISA $VERSION );

# etc2...

1;

I am aware and have tested that executing mycode.pl is perfectly fine when I moved MyPackage.pm outside modules_src/, and use MyPackage; in mycode.pl. But my intention is to group those packages in one subdirectory.
