Perl Module Question
I am trying to use a module in my perl script. I do not have access to the directories that are in perl's search path however. How do I include a perl module in my script when I don't have permission to put it in the path that perl searches?
I would like to use:
use BlahThing;
where BlahThing.pm has all of my variables. My BlahThing.pm module is in the same directory as my script.

Is $drop_dir defined in BlahThing? If so, did you export it?
Is BlahThing defined as a module or is it simply a library file?
