Hi all, first post here. :) I'm a pretty green newbie to Perl but I'm trying, so I hope this question makes sense.

I'm setting up a code repository using a variety of common modules that we write here at my work for things like serial ports, our own software, etc. The way our CVS tree is setup we have a tree called Common, and under that are a series of libraries split up by type. So Common-->Perl-->Networking-->Windows-->Serialport (etc).

What I'm trying to do is write a simple "Hello world" script in the root, that will search the tree for something that I include. Right now "utils.pm" exists in common\perl\utils\net\.

I'm trying to figure out how to get my script to use utils.pm as an include without having to specify the whole path to it. I thought of globbing the whole tree, but I'm not sure how I would go about extracting the path back. Any insight, even a point in the right direction (aka: "Read up on xxxxx") would be great. Thanks! - Seventh
