Using custom modules in PERL

I made myself a custom PERL module and it works when called by a script in the same directory, but not from outside the directory for somewhat obvious reasons. How do I use the module without installing it? eg:

use 5.012;
use warnings;
use Y:/my/dir/to/module.pm;

If you only have one module, instead of using lib, you can do this :

BEGIN {
  unshift @INC,"dir";
  #@INC is the directory list, where perl searches for .pm files
}

use Foo::Bar;  #dir/Foo/Bar.pm

#or 

do "dir/Foo/Bar.pm"; #perldoc -f do

use lib 'Y:/my/dir/to';
use module; # BAD name for module, lowercase is reserved for pragmas...
