Hi everyone

Thanks for the replies - some folks have got the wrong idea though - I am talking about %INC keys, not values. Values will, of course, be OS dependent.

perldoc perlvar discusses this: 

  The hash %INC contains entries for each filename included
  via the "do", "require", or "use" operators.  The key is 
  the filename you specified (with module names converted to
  pathnames), and the value is the location of the file 
  found. The "require" operator uses this hash to determine 
  whether a particular file has already been included.
And that really doesn't give enough information IMHO.

From grantrn and bart's replies it certainly looks like it's OS independent, and that makes far more sense to me.

I'm going to perlbug this though, because I don't think the documentation is clear enough.

Thanks everyone for your replies.
