perlquestion xajin24 <p> Hi perlmonks community, I do not have permissions to install modules on my machine so I am looking for a round-about way of doing it. Currently I downloaded the desired module from CPAN and installed it in a local directory. The current machine I am working on is running perl 5.8.8 and has the 1.07 version of threads and I need it to be 1.6+. I've tried <code> use lib /path/ </code> as well as <code> BEGIN{} </code> to try to force my perl script to use the lib I need. The problem is that whenever I try to force the use of my lib, it is still referring to the default one in /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/... <code>!/usr/bin/perl use lib "/tmp/custom_module/"; use warnings; use threads; print $INC{'threads.pm'}."<<<< Source of threads\n"; </code></p>
