This might be a stupid question but I am very new to Unix environment.

I have a perl script which uses some pm files. All the pm files were in same folder. I ran my script on unix promt, and it gives me error like "Cant Locate Tab_calc.pm in @INC (@INC contans blah blah..)"

I gave command at begining like

BEGIN { unshift(@INC, "\path\modules") }

And i kept all my pm files in folder "modules"

I again got the same error, with only difference that this time @INC had the defined path.

Then I tried

use lib '/path/modules'

I am still getting the same error

What should I do?..

Update: Thanks Everybody..your points really added to my Knowledgebase
