I think it's time make some digest of discussion
Well, really the only point of confusion is relativ position of some
script named, say, caller.pl which require some other script,
traditionally named 28esp.pl :-). In my answers I supposed that
caller.pl placed in some_arbitrary_folder and in the same folder
there is directory includes with file 28esp.pl.
In such case, as far as I understand, in caller.pl should work following:
require "includes/28esp.pl"; #or
require "includes\\28esp.pl"; #or
require 'includes\28esp.pl'; #or
require 'includes/28esp.pl'; #or
require ".\\includes\\28esp.pl"; #or
require "./includes/28esp.pl"; #or
require '.\includes\28esp.pl'; #or
require '.\includes\28esp.pl'; #or
require "\\includes\\28esp.pl"; #only if some_arbitrary_folder
#is root folder
require "/includes/28esp.pl"; #only if some_arbitrary_folder
#is root folder
require '\includes\28esp.pl'; #only if some_arbitrary_folder
#is root folder
require '/includes/28esp.pl'; #only if some_arbitrary_folder
#is root folder
Then about path separators: slash is obviously more universal - it
works on both *NIX and Windows. Slash make script portable.
In case when caller.pl and 28esp.pl palced in different arbitrary
folders then it's better (my opinion) use lib pragma
lib 'x:/absolute/path/of/includes/folder';
After that works all of first eight variants listed earlier except
one:
require "./28esp.pl";
I can't guess why it produces an error.
