in reply to relative paths...

zee12, it seems you deleted the contents of your previous node about a folder with a time stamp and replaced it with this same question. Please don't do that. See also How do I change/delete my post?

please VERY FAST..!!!!!!
please reply ASAP..!!!!

Perhaps #perl-help on IRC would be helpful if in you're in that much of a rush. Also if I Google "perl absolute to relative path", the very first link is to File::Spec (as also recommended by frozenwithjoy). Did that not work for you?
