later man pages go like this:
If the given package names are not found in the current working directo-
ry, pkg_add will search for them in each directory named by the PKG_PATH
environment variable. Specifying `-' as a package name causes pkg_add to
read from the standard input.
i think this is inaccurate... the current working directory is never
searched unless the package name starts with './' or PKG_PATH contains '.':
not working:
$ echo $PKG_PATH
$ ls
autossh-1.3.tgz
$ sudo pkg_add autossh-1.3.tgz
Can't find autossh-1.3.tgz
Can't call method "grabPlist" on an undefined value at
/usr/libdata/perl5/OpenBSD/Handle.pm line 154.
working:
$ PKG_PATH=.
$ sudo pkg_add autossh-1.3.tgz
autossh-1.3: complete
or
$ PKG_PATH=
$ sudo pkg_add ./autossh-1.3.tgz
autossh-1.3: complete
