this is something I've been absently wondering about lately: use implies a
BEGIN block, which means "use anyModule;" will execute just after it's
parsed.  At that point, the push function won't have executed yet, and perl
won't know to look in my:path.  So am I missing a subtlety, missing a
not-so-subtlety, or is it going to have to be:

BEGIN { push @INC, 'my:path:'; }

in order to make the path and its contents visible in time for "use" to
find them?
