Question about the Use command

[BryanY]

Ok, i need to include a .pm file in the current working directory (not from the perl module directories).

So what would be the syntax to use?

 

[PaulTEG]

check out the use lib directive

use lib qw(/usr/home/httpd/cgi-bin/mymodule);

HTH
--Paul

cigless ...

If you have a package called "Module" defined in "Module.pm" in the working directory, all you have to do is say "use Module;" from your script. The script's working directory is already in @INC so you don't need to add a reference to elsewhere via "use lib", though that's a great way to keep all your common code together in one place and reference it from everywhere.

Yep. icrf is right.
If @INC doesnt include the current working directory and the module cant be found, perl is nice enough to tell you where your module should be.
