In your code you can specify the directory location of the pm:

That makes no sense. It would cause Perl to look for
/path/to/pm/XML/Handler/YAWriter.pm
and the module would not be found.
Note that I took that example from a functioning program I have in the
CNN environment.
You say it doesn't work, I have six million viewers who say it does.
Wow!! I'm so impressed. But you are mistaken.
C:\home>type test.pl
use lib 'C:/home/MyModules';
use Some::Module;
C:\home>type MyModules\Module.pm
package Some::Module;
print "It worked!\n";
1;
C:\home>test.pl
Can't locate Some/Module.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/home/MyModules
C:/IndigoPerl/perl/site/lib C:/IndigoPerl/perl/lib .) at C:\home\test.pl
line 2.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:\home\test.pl line 2.
C:\home>
So I'm right; it does not work.
This is the result after I had created a directory Some in MyModules,
and moved Module.pm there:
C:\home>type test.pl
use lib 'C:/home/MyModules';
use Some::Module;
C:\home>type MyModules\Some\Module.pm
package Some::Module;
print "It worked!\n";
1;
C:\home>test.pl
It worked!
C:\home>
But, as you can see, now I'm no longer specifying the directory location
of the pm in the "use lib" statement.
