Re: Load module from local dir

BEGIN and @INC are your friend here:

/usr/bin/env perl

use strict;
use warnings;

BEGIN {
    unshift @INC, '~/perl5/lib/perl5';
}

use Excel::Writer::XSLX;
[download]

...or even via a conditional '--debug' command line argument:

/usr/bin/env perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Array::Contains;

BEGIN {
    if(contains('--debug', \@ARGV)) {
        print("Development INC activated\n\n");
        unshift @INC, '~/perl5/lib/perl5';
    }
}

use Excel::Writer::XSLX;
[download]

"For me, programming in Perl is like my cooking. The result may not always taste nice, but it's quick, painless and it get's food on the table."
