Re: Importing Dependency Version

[Khen1950fx]

FWIW, the parameter for lib must be a directory and not a file. Here's what I tried with Exporter-5.67:

#!/usr/bin/perl -l

BEGIN { 
    unshift @INC, '/root/mylib/lib';
}

use strict;
use warnings;
require Exporter;
use Email::Date::Format;
use lib '/root/mylib/lib';

print "Email::Date::Format: ", $Email::Date::Format::VERSION;
print "Exporter: ", $Exporter::VERSION;

That script seems to work and use the Exporter in my projects lib directory. I'm not sure why but I was using:

use strict;
use warnings;
use lib qw{./lib};

print "Email::Date::Format: ", $Email::Date::Format::VERSION;
print "Exporter: ", $Exporter::VERSION;

which did not work. Simply moving the use warnings; to the end does work.

use strict;
use lib qw{./lib};
use warnings;

print "Email::Date::Format: ", $Email::Date::Format::VERSION;
print "Exporter: ", $Exporter::VERSION;

Apparently there is a special order to for "use" which I did not know about.
