I would say to generally avoid "use lib" in your scripts and rely on PERL5LIB instead, as per zentara. Exception would be "use lib" in conjunction with FindBin to locate script-specific modules relative to your script itself. I would also suggest giving your modules a "personal" namespace. For instance, start all your modules with "KO::". So you would have stuff like: KO::Tricks KO::Foo KO::Foo::Bar Then you can install into the sitelib directories without clashing with CPAN modules. use h2xs to start your modules. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
