       Looks for MakeMaker-like _'_b_l_i_b_' directory structure
       starting in _d_i_r (or current directory) and working back up
       to five levels of '..'.

       Intended for use on command line with ----MMMM option as a way
       of testing arbitary scripts against an uninstalled version
       of a package.

       However it is possible to :

        use blib;
        or
        use blib '..';

       etc. if you really must.
