OK, Here is more information.

This is the current development environment I work in. I have very little control over it. I am working for a firm which maintains a non-web database application written in perl.

There are 3 perl library directories.
/opt/perl/5.6.0/lib - standard perl library
/opt/db/dv/na/bin - application specific perl library
/home/deaconblues/code/lib - my installed modules

I install perl modules in my home directory because I do not have permission to install in the other directories. I install standard modules and personal modules I have created into my home directory library. When code gets released for QA then it can be installed into the application specific library directory or the standard directory depending on which makes sense.

When the application runs, the environment of the application's user is set to include the first 2 directories into the Unix PATH enviroment variable.

When I test the scripts and modules not using make, I have an alias which includes the extra directories into @INC. Like this: 

alias myperl='perl -I/home/deaconblues/code/lib -I/opt/db/dv/na/bin'

So as I develop and test new modules I need the make process to include the 2 non-standard library directories when it runs the make test script.
