NAME
vendorlib - Use Only Core and Vendor Libraries in @INC
SYNOPSIS
#!/usr/bin/perl use vendorlib; use strict; use warnings; use SomeModule; # will only search in core and vendor paths ...
DESCRIPTION
In a system distribution such as Debian, it may be advisable for Perl programs to ignore the user's CPAN-installed modules and only use the distribution-provided modules to avoid possible breakage with newer and unpackaged versions of modules. To that end, this pragma will replace your @INC with only the core and vendor @INC paths, ignoring site_perl and $ENV{PERL5LIB} entirely. It is recommended that you put "use vendorlib;" as the first statement in your program, before even "use strict;" and "use warnings;".
BUGS
Please report any bugs or feature requests to "bug-vendorlib at rt.cpan.org", or through the web interface at <http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=vendorlib>. I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.
