I'd add

use lib '/usr/share/perl5';

to the top of the failing script, which will add that directory to the
start of @INC. That's the 'normal' way to add directories to @INC

The actual solution, though, is to file a bug against the package, and
ideally find where in the package it's faffing with @INC and put that
info in the bug report.
