I am not sure.  %INC is the hash that tells you what external files
have been loaded via 'use' or 'require'.  If you do a complete dump
of %INC, it could be quite large depending on how many modules have
been loaded.  Also, it is not clear if %INC will include mhamain.pl
if the require fails.

I think @INC is sufficient since it gives you the actual search path,
and from that, a person can check each path for the file in question.
