I am having 20 Subroutines which are common to almost 30+ files. Instead of adding all these subroutines in each file I created a file CommonSubs.pm and placed in location C:\DIR1\DIR2\DIR3\CommonSubs.pm.

My all other Files are also located in the same location. E.g. File1.pl calling CommonSubs.pm is located at C:\DIR1\DIR2\DIR3\File1.pl.

CommonSubs.pm has a line which says "Package CommonSubs"

Problem is when I am calling any of my file from an other location, it gives me error. e.g. I call Perl C:\DIR1\DIR2\DIR3\File1.pl while in d: Directory, it throws an error.

While when I cd to C:\DIR1\DIR2\DIR3\ Directory and then call File1.pl it runs fine.

I know this is the issue with Path's but how to make it generic so that from where ever I call this File1.pl (Giving it's complete path) it is executed without error
