Hi,
I have used stubmaker.pl to successfully generate a pm file (service.pm) , that I use in a calling script (caller.pl) to connect to a webservice.

eval {use AdminService qw (:all); };

In itself, this works without problems. But, caller.pl is sometimes included in other pl-scripts in different locations. This becomes a problem because caller.pl sometimes doesn't know where to find service.pm.
. I have tried to use 
use Cwd;
my $dir = getcwd;
use lib $dir."/mysubdirectory";

[download]
to "find out" the search path, but since getcwd gets the path from the source script (that in turn includes caller.pl), this fails for all scripts that resides in another directory.

To solve the problem, I see two possible solutions:
1. Include the code in service.pm in caller.pl.
2. Find a failsafe way to find out the path to service.pm.

Number 1 is preferred due to distribution reasons.

Regarding number 2, I could surely enter the path manually, but the software is supposed to work "out-of-the-box" in different configurations.
