Clarification - Re: Include directory as location of perl script

[Craig Moynes/Markham/IBM]

I cannot use a fixed library path as the script will be installed in
different directories on different systems.

the idea is it will be executed as:
/home/dbncc/perl/scripts/xxxx.pl

and the library will also be located in the same directory.

: but I am having trouble stripping $0 of the perl script name.

The standard File::Basename module has a dirname() function
that will do that for you.

Alternatively, you can say something like this in your perl script:

use lib '/path/to/your/module/file.pm';
