in thread Instance of 'use lib' won't accept relative path
The usage from the SYNOPSIS is when you have a bin and lib sitting next to each other, e.g. in a typical CPAN distribution. In your case, that would be:
use FindBin qw($Bin); use lib "$Bin/flies/lib";
$Bin is the directory where your Perl script started. Have a look at the edge cases in FindBin whether you need FindBin::again or $FindBin::RealBin, but I guess it will already work as given. I apologize for having used a misleading CPAN link in my first post: FindBin is in Perl core.
