You could have a wrapper routine which localizes %INC, removes entries  
not within 'b' and alters @INC to look to 'b' first for the duration  
of the load of 'b'.
For extra points, you could drop this wrapper into a coderef that  
itself lives at the front of @INC.

However, you're doing it wrong and this will cause problems. (But I  
don't see what they are, once you sort out the bits above).
