FindBin is reputedly severly broken. Search PerlMonks for a post from tye.


What is it that doesn't work?


In TGL, I do this:

#The directory this program is running from.
use File::Basename;
my $pathBase;

BEGIN {
         unshift(@INC, ".");

         $pathBase = dirname($0);
         unshift(@INC, $pathBase);
}

You could also do a chdir(dirname($0)) in a begin block I guess.
