I am running perl on Windows 10, I got the distrubution from ActiveState(ActivePerl-5.20.1.2000-MSWin32-x64-298557.msi). I am running into a problem when trying to run a program after packageing it using "pp.exe" The problem seems to be that: 
require "<relitive path>/<program>.pl";

[download]
Works but 
require "<absolute path>/<program>.pl";

[download]
does not. Has this problem been seen before? Short of making real ".pm's" and libray search paths, is there any quick fix? Below I have detailed the problem (program revs are in the outpus). The cmd window was captured below: 
T:\perlwork>type ppe.pl
use strict;

require "T:/perlwork/my_lib/pps.pl";

print "Running perl version $]\n";
&ppd;

T:\perlwork>type my_lib\pps.pl
sub ppd {
    print "ppd was called\n";
}
return (1);

T:\perlwork>ppe.pl
Running perl version 5.020001
ppd was called

T:\perlwork>pp -o ppe.exe ppe.pl

T:\perlwork>ppe.exe

require "my_lib/pps.pl";

In reply to require "<absolute path>" is not working with "pp.exe" by mark4
