Re^2: Overloading Weirdness

"." means the current work directory, not the script's directory.

use lib qw(.);
[download]

should be

use FindBin qw( $RealBin );
use lib $RealBin;
[download]

Hello ikegami,

Thanks for that! I had a hard time trying to think of a situation in which the current working directory would be different to the script’s directory (in the absence of explicit calls to chdir, of course). Finally, the penny dropped: if I invoke a script foo/bar/baz.pl from the foo directory:

perl bar/baz.pl
[download]

the script’s directory is foo/bar, but the current working directory is still foo!

Thanks again,

Athanasius <°(((>< contra mundum Iustus alius egestas vitae, eros Piratica,

Yes, relpath/prog^[1] and /abspath/prog^[2], but even just prog^[3]

If relpath doesn't refer to the CWD.
If /abspath doesn't refer to the CWD.
If the $PATH entry used doesn't refer to the CWD.

Regardless, if the difference is that the class is in a separate file, that would be super weird.
