So I am sure whats going on, can you elaborate on why this is the fix? 
For example, the error asked for MIME/Lite.pm so I gave it the path to 
the file. Here you are stating that I should just go up to the point 
where I am mapping:
 
/home/samcsm/jason/myperl/lib/perl5/site_perl/
Basically (I'm omitting some advanced techniques here), @INC contains a 
set of directories (and CODEREFs). Those directories are searched when a 
module is used/required. The way perl searches is basically

1. $module_name =~ s/::/$pathsep/
   eg MIME::Lite becomes MIME/Lite
2. append extension
   eg MIME/Lite.pm
3. foreach $dir in @INC
     if -e $dir/MIME/Lite.pm
       load it
     end if
   end foreach
   die if no module found
Actually, I think there is a better psuedo code example in `perldoc -f 
require`

    unshift (@INC, '/home/samcsm/jason/myperl/lib/perl5/site_perl/');}
    or more simply
    use lib '/home/samcsm/jason/myperl/lib/perl5/site_perl/';
    use MIME::Lite;
