I'm not sure if we need to go this far, but is it worth checking whether the
script is actually in the current directory? Let me explain:
$ pwd
/home/nwatkiss/test
$ ls
some_path/
$ ls some_path
test.pl test.h
$ perl some_path/test.pl
I think this case is sufficiently rare that we needn't bother with it. But
it's worth noting that in this particular case '#include "test.h"' wouldn't
work.
Later,
Neil
