=head1 NAME

above - auto "use lib" when a module is in the tree of the PWD

=head1 SYNOPSIS

use above "My::Module";

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Used by the command-line wrappers for Command modules which are developer tools.

Do NOT use this in modules, or user applications.

Uses a module as though the cwd and each of its parent directories were at the beginnig of @INC.
If found in that path, the parent directory is kept as though by "use lib".

Set ABOVE_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM shell variable to true value to crawl past device boundaries.

=head1 EXAMPLES

# given
/home/me/perlsrc/My/Module.pm

# in
/home/me/perlsrc/My/Module/Some/Path/

# in myapp.pl:
use above "My::Module";

# does this ..if run anywhere under /home/me/perlsrc:
use lib '/home/me/perlsrc/'
use My::Module;
