 blib - Use MakeMaker's uninstalled version of a package

SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS #

  perl -Mblib script [args...]

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

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN #

 Looks for MakeMaker-like _'_b_l_i_b_' directory structure starting in _d_i_r (or
 current directory) and working back up to five levels of '..'.

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

 However it is possible to :

  use blib;
  or
  use blib '..';

 etc. if you really must.
