Camel Book, page 851:
One solution for this is to use the standard FindBin module:
use FindBin;
use lib $FindBin::Bin;
This will do just what you want. By the way, to anyone who will listen:
Get the Camel Book, "Programming Perl 3rd ed." published by O'Reilly.
If you are serious about Perl, get it and read it. You'd be surprised
how many of the questions raised here can be solved by a quick glance there.
Oh, and just to raise some hell: if you're new to Perl, you may also
want to look at Python. I don't know which language I would recomend
more...
