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;".

       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.
