No you're not. You're trying to add it at compile time. Adding it at
runtime would be much simpler:
push @INC, $runningDir;
Your problem is that if you do successfully add it at runtime, that's
already too late for anything you wanted to "use" at compile time. So
your two options are to:
1) "use" the other modules at runtime, after you've modified @INC
push @INC, $runningDir;
require OtherModule;
OtherModule->import;
2) modify @INC at compile time
For the life of me, I don't know why no one has referred you to the
FAQ yet.
perldoc -q directory
How do I add the directory my program lives in to the
module/library search path?
use FindBin;
use lib "$FindBin::Bin";
use your_own_modules;
