Works great. Thank you. You're correct about it not working like I had said it was. The module was in the same directory as the script so was found regardless of the "use lib" statement not working.

Is there any way to supress this message without disabling warnings >entirely? No, it does not "work". $script_dir is undef at compile-time. $script_dir = get_lib(); doesn't happen until run-time.
