Re: Re: newbie question: can't use my own lib in crob job

I try

use File::Basename;

my $cwd = dirname $0;
my $libpath = $cwd."/lib";

require "$libpath/My/Ownmodule.pm";
[download]

it is work normally. And putting "require File::Basename;" inside the BEGIN block can't solve the problem

What is the difference between "require" and "use" ? Are there any disadvantage to use "require" to replace "use" ?

I am in doubt whether there are any other method can make me to use "use lib "xxxx"

thanks!

How about this `use lib "$ENV{HOME}/lib";` [download] and then you tell users they must keep the module in ~/lib	[reply] [d/l]

I am so sorry English is not my native language.So I can't express my question exactly. My question is: How can I use `use lib "xxx/mylib"` in my script if I don't use `require "xxx/mylib/sss.pm"`? I just want to know whether it is possible . thanks!	[reply] [d/l] [select]
