Octavian,

Actually, that doesn't work. Adding "../" breaks the script.

The directory won't change once the script is installed. Both shop.cgi
and the ss_files directory are in the surfshop directory and will always remain
there. The surfshop directory could, in theory, be placed anywhere, but that
shouldn't have any effect on shop.cgi calling the other files, no?
If that's the case, I like use lib "ss_files"; simply because it's
short and sweet. If no one knows of a problem with portability, then I'll
stick with it. I just don't want someone to download our cart and then have a
problem with it simply because I wasn't able to test it properly.
Thanks again,
Frank

}
use lib "$cur_directory/ss_files";
