Which Module Is Used?

[perlfan]

I'm using CGI.pm on my ISP's server but do not have write privaleges and need to make a few small changes. If I create a copy with the needed changes and put it in a directory, say /mydir/mymodules/, and then add "use lib '/mydir/mymodules/';" in my script will the script use my CGI.pm or the ISP's? I guess I could rename it removing all doubt but prefer not to do that. How can I dictate which CGI module is loaded? Perhaps the $ENV{'PATH'}; needs my directory prepended to it. Any ideas?

you can use 'require' instead, and then supply it with the fully quantified path to the module, and that should work. if you want it to behave the same as 'use', put the call to require in a BEGIN block. also note, it's not '$ENV{PATH}' that perl looks in for modules, it looks in '@INC'.
