Perl can't find module listed in same directory as script

I need to keep any custom modules in the same-ish directory as my script.

I keep getting this error suggesting that Perl can't "see" the module I'm declaring

Global symbol "$employment_type" requires explicit package name at early_enrollments_by_term.pl line 260.

Execution of early_enrollments_by_term.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

My module is Hash.pm and is in directory /home/pgb2/canvas/canvas-sis-feeds/scripts/lib/Custom

Hash.pm

package Custom::Hash;

My script is early_enrollments_by_term.pl and lives in /home/pgb2/canvas/canvas-sis-feeds/scripts/

early_enrollments_by_term.pl

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;

use DBI;

use lib qw(/home/pgb2/canvas/canvas-sis-feeds/scripts/lib);

use Custom::Hash;

my $enrollment_type = $Custom::Hash::enrollment_hash{$role};  # line 259
print "\nenrollment_type: $employment_type\n";                # line 260

Would anyone be able to tell why it's not finding the module?

Although you have shown very little of your code, the problem would presumably be that you have declared $enrollment_type and tried to use $employment_type, which has not been declared

Had perl been unable to find the module, it is the use Custom::Hash statement that would throw the error
