package blib;
=head1 NAME
blib - Use MakeMaker's uninstalled version of a package
=head1 SYNOPSIS
perl -Mblib script [args...]
perl -Mblib=dir script [args...]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Looks for MakeMaker-like I<'blib'> directory structure starting in
I<dir> (or current directory) and working back up to five levels of '..'.
Intended for use on command line with B<-M> 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.
=head1 BUGS
Pollutes global name space for development only task.
