Module::Info seems to do what you need. Create an
object using the constructor in one of the three ways
below and then call inc_dir() method.
use Module::Info;
my $mod =
Module::Info->new_from_file('Some/Module.pm');
my $mod =
Module::Info->new_from_module('Some::Module');
my $mod =
Module::Info->new_from_loaded('Some::Module');
my $dir = $module->inc_dir();
