DESCRIPTION

This small script(mhere) helps you copy modules to somewhere you like. The precedence order is: -l, env APP_MODULES_HERE and cwd. By default, it will copy to cwd.

It's first written when I tried to trace a bug in one of my modules which led me to another module(let's call it Foo here) in @INC.

So I ran perldoc -l Foo to find its path, edited it to add more debug info, forced save it(happy that I had the write permission), then reproduced the bug to go on debugging, and so on.

After fixed the bug, I was happy and decided to do something else, I almost forgot that I changed Foo before! (believe me, I totally forgot it a couple of times) So I switched to Foo, reversed all changed I've made, and forced save it again.

That was a bad experience so I decided to make a new approach. that is, to copy relative modules to current working directory and make changes there. after all done we can just remove it with a clean, untouched @INC. The new one is better, at least for me, wish it can help you too :)
