    Basename.pm is included in the standard distro and will be located somewhere in your @INC directories in a directory called File which is its root namespace.

    Try this on the CLI:
    perl -e 'print join("\n", @INC);'

    And you will see that for example in my system it is here with /usr/share/perl/5.8.0 being in my @INC:

    barrd:~# locate Basename.pm
/usr/share/perl/5.8.0/File/Basename.pm

      The module isn't Basename, it is File::Basename. It lives in a file named File/Basename.pm. But the package is "File::Basename". It is used like this: 
      use File::Basename;
my $file = basename($path);
