[Omaha.pm] Using a perl module without installing it...

I'm doing some development on a customers system.  I am using Perl scripts
to do some quick-and-dirty data manipulation.  I need to use a module but
I can't install it on this system.

The packge itself (Statistics-LineFit) is very simple -- the whole
inteligence of the package is contained in a single file
(lib/Statistics/LineFit.pm).  To use this package normally, you would "use
Statistics::LineFit;", but that will look in the system library
directories.

Questions:
1: Can anyone give me pointers so that I can replace the "use XXX::YYY;"
syntax and do something like "include /full/path/to/YYY.pm" or other such
trick?

2: Or, can someone give me hints as to how to write my script to modify
the @INC variable (??) to use ~/lib rather than the systems default
"/usr/lib/perl5/..." directories?

Dan
