I am trying to add a library of perl scripts to be evaluated by the
"do EXPR" command. The man pages seem to indicate that this is done
with the -I command line option so I did this to my main script:

#! /usr/bin/perl -I/mq/home/bin/perl

I printed @INC in my main script and got this:

/mq/home/bin/ /usr/local/lib/perl


Only the first thirteen characters of the directory were included. I tried using
a directory path of less than thirteen characters but the script seems to ignore
this additional entry in @INC.  It finds things in /usr/local/lib/perl just fine.
What am I missing here?
