That's one way. Do 'perl -V' and that will tell you what's in the @INC array.
You could put something like

    BEGIN {
    push(@INC, "mylibdir");
    }

near the top of your script, where "mylibdir" is the path to the folder where
you
keep your modules.

Presumably the author of the module specified a particular version because
earlier versions wouldn't work with it.

~sdpm~

The posting address is: san-diego-pm-list at hfb.pm.org

List requests should be sent to: majordomo at hfb.pm.org

If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list,
you can send mail to <majordomo at happyfunball.pm.org> with the following
command in the body of your email message:

    unsubscribe san-diego-pm-list

If you ever need to get in contact with the owner of the list,
(if you have trouble unsubscribing, or have questions about the
list itself) send email to <owner-san-diego-pm-list at happyfunball.pm.org> .
This is the general rule for most mailing lists when you need
to contact a human.
