how to reference a folder above the one you're in...i know it's ./

[spewn]

what i'm looking for is a way to reference a folder that sits 2 folders above the one the script runs in...

it's for referring a session variable.

$session = new CGI::Session(undef, $sid, {Directory=>'../tmp'}); 2 .'s

this works fine, but i need to go one more up...i thought i could put:

$session = new CGI::Session(undef, $sid, {Directory=>'.../tmp'}); 3 .'s

but that doesn't seem to work.

it only created a folder called ...tmp so that wasn't good.

any ideas?

How about ../../ ?

./ is going to be your current directory.
