NAME

blib - Use MakeMaker's uninstalled version of a package

  1.  perl -Mblib script [args...]

Looks for MakeMaker-like 'blib' directory structure starting in dir (or current directory) and working back up to five levels of '..'.

  1.  use blib;
  2.  or
  3.  use blib '..';

etc. if you really must.
