OK, wrong version of Linux/Unix or my bad memory .. just edit whichever 
crontab you're running this stuff on; you can add stuff like 

PERLLIB=/path/to/your/lib:$PERLLIB

so that when you want to use your own libraries, they're in the path.

Alternatively, you can just put a

use lib '/path/to/your/lib';

in your script or module.
