I agree with thatguy, and if you are unsure of the exact path to your file (maybe because you are not the admin or whatever), and if it is in the same place as your script, you can always use the CWD module to grab the name of the current working directory...

# Load the current working directory module
use Cwd;

# set $dir to the current directory
my $dir = cwd;

# print out the pathname
print "My file is: $dir/$value\n";
