Importing Dependency Version

[perldc]

I'm using Email::Date::Format version 1/004 which has a dependency on Exporter 5.57. My server only has an older Exporter 5.562. I downloaded the latest version of Exporter which is currently 5.58 and I put it in my lib directory for my current project. Is there a way that I can tell the Email::Date::Format module to use the version of Exporter in my lib folder? In my main script i'm currently using

use lib qw{./lib/Exporter};
use Exporter 5.68;

I've even tried editing Format.pm and changing

use Exporter 5.57 'import';
to
use lib qw{./lib/Exporter};
use Exporter 5.68 'import'; #thinking maybe if i specific the exact ve
+rsion it may find it
