II didn't do it myself, but there may be a possibility to set the environment
variable PERLLIB or PERL5LIB in a login script, see
perlfaq -q INC
(at the bottom on Perldoc v3.13, under perl v5.008005 for linux)
If you use mod_perl, you can modify @INC in the startup file (not permanently
as you wish)

If I'm not wrong, this is the same as
use 'local_perl_lib'
since this prepends the additional lib to @INC anyway.
