Now that I have thought about this I have a feeling the problem isn't the location of the library, as the other posters suggested. Otherwise you would be getting a "Can't locate module Nary.pm in @INC..." error. Which means I suspect you are running your script from the same directory that it lives in, with a ./tree-trial.pl, etc. So I suspect your first problem will be that you don't have a 'package Nary' in the top of the module source, which is why you are getting the Can't locate 'new' method *and* getting the 'perhaps you forgot to load Nary' suggestion. If the method was missing but the package was there you would get only the first half. So you likely need to back up a couple of steps, think about what you are doing, and then do some reading: perldoc -f package perldoc -f use perldoc perlmod perldoc perlmodlib perldoc perlmodstyle To make your modules more generic you should listen to the advice of the other posters though, as it will allow your scripts to be decoupled from the module installation location. If you aren't using 'strict' and 'warnings' right now you should be....
