local::lib

Work with local modules via local::lib

``local::lib'' helps solve the problem when a Perl package on your
machine isn't the version you need it to be. It allows you to create
your own directory of Perl packages into your own, or your team's
directory.

use local::lib;

# or

use local::lib '/path/to/team/directory';

``local::lib'' also sets up some useful shell commands which add our
preferred include directories to ``PERL5LIB'' in our environment. If our
code is not running under taint, we don't even need to add the ``use''
line to our code to use these newly installed modules.
