blib(3)                                                                blib(3)



NAME
     blib - Use MakeMaker's uninstalled version of a package

SYNOPSIS
      perl -Mblib script [args...]

      perl -Mblib=dir script [args...]


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

     Intended for use on command line with -M option as a way of testing
     arbitary scripts against an uninstalled version of a package.

     However it is possible to :

      use blib;
      or
      use blib '..';

     etc. if you really must.

BUGS
     Pollutes global name space for development only task.
