Dynamic 'use lib' call?

Hi. I'm basically trying to load the Perl module 'lib' dynamically. I currently have;

use lib $installation;

I also tried;

use lib "$installation";

use lib '$installation'; (which obviously didn't work, as the '' stops $installation being processed).

.... is this even possible? I am basically trying to get a script to interlink with several installations of LinksSQL... so after passing the path to the 'defs' folder, I then use;

Code:
   use lib $installation; 
   use GT::SQL; 
   my $db = new GT::SQL $installation;

Anyone got any ideas? This is doing my head in :(

TIA
