Re: @INC package location

I wouldn't think that, but I wasn't sure what was meant by this:

"Of course, @INC will likely contain the directory from which your program was started. Thus, you should be able to use/require modules that reside in the same directory as your script."

So I asked.

Thanks for the help.

Normally @INC contains '.' (i.e. current directory). So usually Perl programs can access perl modules in directory from which they were started. For example output of `perl -V` on my computer: `bash-2.05a$ perl -V Summary of my perl5 (revision 5.0 version 6 subversion 1) configuratio +n: ..... ..... .....
