Relative path ..

[rajeshacharya]

I am using a relative path in my perl program.for ex. use lib '../lib';. But when i run this perl file from any other folder say my home directory then obviously perl doesn't get lib folder. Is there any way(may be some env but still i don't want to give obsolute path) i can use the relative path and still can run it from any where. I don't wish to give obsolute path.

Thanks in advance

your using perl modules right?
you can upload or copy the module file (use this as an example somemodule.pm) into the same folder as your script an use the use command like so:

use somemodule;

i had some what of that problem cause i use someone elses server so i have to aby by there rules

You can use an environmental variable but you will have to put the absolute path in the environmental variable. You can set the env variable 'MYPATH' and use it in the script as

use lib qw^$ENV{'MYPATH'}/lib^;

jaa

Oops! that should instead be:
[tt]
use lib qq^$ENV{'MYPATH'}/lib^;
[/tt]
The string has to be double quoted so the $ENV variable get interpolated.
