NAME
    vendorlib - Use Only Core and Vendor Libraries in @INC

SYNOPSIS
        #!/usr/bin/perl

        use vendorlib;
        use strict;
        use warnings;
        use SomeModule; # will only search in core and vendor paths
        ...

DESCRIPTION
    In a system distribution such as Debian, it may be advisable for Perl
    programs to ignore the user's CPAN-installed modules and only use the
    distribution-provided modules to avoid possible breakage with newer and
    unpackaged versions of modules.

    To that end, this pragma will replace your @INC with only the core and
    vendor @INC paths, ignoring site_perl and $ENV{PERL5LIB} entirely.

    It is recommended that you put "use vendorlib;" as the first statement
    in your program, before even "use strict;" and "use warnings;".

BUGS
    Please report any bugs or feature requests to "bug-vendorlib at
    rt.cpan.org", or through the web interface at
    <http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=vendorlib>. I will be
    notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your
    bug as I make changes.
