I have gotten a new random number library together which reimp,ementes
the srand and rand functions according to Knuth (Thanks, Bill!).

Anyway, I wanted to create a directory for the libraries I'm
collecting, so I created a library called ~/.perlLib

where I symbolically link to all of the perl libraries I've FTP'd or
created.

The problem is, when I say;

require "~/.perlLib/random.pl";

I get the error:

Can't locate ~/.perlLib/random.pl in @INC at roll line 3.

So, I tried this at the top of my program:

#!/usr/bin/perl -I~/.perlLib

to add ~/.perlLib to the @INC array, and it's there when I look, but
the same error occurs.

What am I doing wrong?
