Re: use lib error

Thanks Adam, I think you were right.
There was a small difference in the simplified example I wrote below to 
the actual script I was running. The actual script actually had the path:
use lib '../../lib'; # which was correct relative to the script.
But when I switched this to:
use lib '../lib'; # this did not cause the error anymore, even though the 
path was incorrect relative to the script.

And I think what was happening was that you're right the current working
directory was being set to /  and ../../lib was an invalid path somehow.

Anyway I adopted your solution and just removed the use libs in my scripts
since the PerlSwitch -I/{full path to lib} allows the modules to be found.

cheers,
Mehryar
