If there are only two systems and you keep your perl libraries in
different directories on each system, you could put two "use lib"
lines in your code listing both directories.

Or, you could set the PERL5LIB shell environment variable to be the
directory with your perl libraries.  If you use this, you won't need
the "use lib" line in your code.  You login scripts could
automatically set the PERL5LIB env var to the appropriate directory
for the server or you could set it to all possible directories so the
same PERL5LIB will work on any server you use.
