I'm sure there's an obvious answer to this, but I can't seem to find it. Suppose I have these files: 
    /(lib path)/dirAAA/ModuleA.pm
    /(lib path)/dirBBB/ModuleB.pm

[download]
where (lib path) will differ from one installation to another. Also for various reasons I can't put ModuleA and ModuleB in the same directory. ModuleA needs to use ModuleB. In ModuleA I put: 
    use lib ???;
    use ModuleB;

[download]
What do I use for ??? I know that these are no good: # WRONG: relative to caller who could be anywhere:
<code>
use lib '../dirAAA/'

[download]
# WRONG: relative to calling script which could be anywhere: 
use FindBin;
use lib "$FindBin::Bin/../dirAAA/"

[download]
How do I specify 'relative to the current file (Module A)'? My apologies for posting anonymously; I'm having trouble logging in. thanks, David
