You want Devel::Hide. use Devel::Hide qw(Module::To::Hide Another::Module ...); use lib qw(blib/lib blib/arch); and after that, if you try to use one of the "hidden" modules, then they will only load if they're in the two extra directories. That's because they'll come before Devel::Hide's magic in the @INC search path. That's basically a lucky side-effect of how it works, and is documented under "caveats", but I don't imagine it'll change, as to fix that would require (even more) Dark Magic. Probably tieing @INC, if that's possible. -- David Cantrell | Minister for Arbitrary Justice EIN KIRCHE! EIN KREDO! EIN PAPST!
