I want to use 2 modules in my perl program: module1.pm and module2.pm. module1.pm is in current directory. to use module2.pm which is in another directory I wil use: use lib 'path-to-other-directory'; but I have another module named module1.pm in the same directory as module2.pm that I don't want to use. how could I avoid to use module1.pm in the other directory?
The easiest way may be to put the 'use' directives in order: use module1; # in current directory use lib 'path-to-other-directory'; # changes @INC use module2; # in other directory Then again, the easiest way may be to organize your modules properly. Maybe you should put module2 into a directory that doesn't have any modules you don't want, or maybe you should upgrade or remove module1. You could also use a BEGIN block to put the new search paths at the end of @INC instead of the start, or you could add another 'use lib' to ensure that '.' is among the first directories searched. But I have to say I'm partial to organizing modules according to your needs, in the end.
