Caveat Coder! Perl can be set up so that the @INC doesn't point to the
core modules. I have seen this on shared hosting, where (I assume) the
sys admin decided to use it as a way to secure the box.
Of course, if you use something like this:
BEGIN {
unshift "./modules", @INC;
}
you can then store all your modules in the ./modules directory and have
them accessed. Of course, this may or may not violate their terms if
you're selling the script.
