Re: perl cant find it anymore!

You'll want to put beatnik's comment in a BEGIN block though, to ensure it's sorted before we start the getting to the nuts and bolts of things.

BEGIN {
          
          push(@INC,"/opt/perl5/lib/5.6.1");
  }

@INC

BEGIN

use

Octavian

require 'timelocal.pl';

Octavian

Beatnik

@INC

require

Yet More Ways of setting @INC before your script starts running (and thus in time to affect both use and require):

Add them to your shebang line:

#!/path/to/perl -w -I/opt/perl5/lib/5.6.1

use lib:
```
use lib qw(/opt/perl5/lib/5.6.1);
[download]
```
(this also works in a module, of course)

either

both

Either is preferable to manipulating @INC directly: it's clearer, and you get nicer behaviour simpler (e.g. beatnik's and Azatoth's code above adds the new directory as the last directory to be searched; you'd usually want to search it first).
