hello, this i was used to do in the script perspective:
my $origin = File::Spec->file_name_is_absolute($0) ? $0 : File::Spec->
+rel2abs($0) ;
my ($drive,$directories,$file) = File::Spec->splitpath( $origin );
my $path = File::Spec->catdir($drive,$directories);
################ check starting path
my $current = File::Spec->rel2abs('.');
if ($current ne $path) {
(chdir $path and print "OK chdir to $path\n")|| die "FATAL una
+ble to change directory to '$path'.";
}
But if now i understand, you want in a module.pm get the absolute path of the script.pl that used it.
If so you can have in the module a BEGIN block that executes before any attempt for (user's) script to change directory. If in the script there is a chdir in a BEGIN block before loading your module.. you are lost.
