Unlikely for two reasons. First, the default Activestate installation already has "." in the include path (@INC - a quick check with 'perl -V' will confirm that in case I am wrong). Second, the current directory is probably not the same as the directory that the script and module live in. The special variable $0 contains the name of the script being executed (see 'perldoc perlvar'), which may contain path information, but a more reliable to locate the directory you want way is to use FindBin (see 'perldoc FindBin'), for example. use FindBin qw($Bin); use lib $Bin; require Telnet; Note that the module name is not quoted and has no '.pm' extension. See 'perldoc -f require' for an explanation.
