Yes, they just have to specify where to find them in each Perl script
which will need to use the local libraries:

use lib '/mypath/libdir/';
use MyModule;

"use lib" manipulates the special "@INC" variable in Perl to add extra
directories into Perl's search path. "use" or "require" statements
_after_ a "use lib" will find modules in the newly specified path(s).
