I tripped over this chunk of code today -

> #!/usr/bin/perl -w
>
> BEGIN {
> use File::Basename;
> unshift @INC, dirname($0);
> }
> use strict;
> use module_whatever;
> ...

if I'm reading this right it would let
you include a required module your users
may or may not have with your own script.
No installation required.

Is there a drawback to this approach?
