in reply to Re: Overriding the built-in require function (@INC)
in thread Overriding the built-in require function

But this of course fails if someone happens to do 

BEGIN { unshift @INC, sub { ... } }

use lib 'somewhere/special';
require Net::Ping; # Resolves to "somewhere/special/Net/Ping.pm".

[download]
as lib also unshifts @INC. This accident may not be obvious if it's a module that uses lib.

For many purposes it works, but one should be aware of that it's not bullet proof against accidents.
