This should work anyplace File::Spec can split directories, which should be anywhere Perl runs. This may not do much good on Windows: the crazy directory structure common to Windows systems do not seem very amenable to using $FindBin::Bin as the starting point for locating libraries. Anyone with access to VMS warn me if this works at all -- through judicious use of virtual devices should make it useful. The pod describes using the module in a few situations, any suggestions appreciated. In particular, I toyed with several ways of passing in switches. The one used here was chosen because it supports qw( ... ) syntax with optional parameters (e.g., qw(export) and qw(export=foo)). Versions are currently availble for Perl before 5.10 one after, with the minimum supported version beingn 5.8. Any later versions of Perl supported will be in ./versions (see Module::FromPerlVer for description). Installation: perl Makefile.PL; make all test install; perldoc FindBin::libs; also see the examples for come common use cases. enjoi
