Re: Compiling Perl with correct values in @INC

perl built on different OSes has different logic for @INC population.
Your script will work just fine if you'll place at the very start of it:
```
BEGIN {
  @INC = ('/dir1','/your/special/dir/here');
}
# rest of your code goes here

```
I use that approach sometimes in my scripts.
recompiling perl is much easier that it initially seemes to. And lot of platform-specific READMEs help a lot.

addition: BTW what is your OS?
