Can you use $0, and manipulate it to create $pathtolib, as $0 will already have a user-specific path?

Interesting. I just read up on `$0` in the Camel and it says assignment to it "is magical," but no examples. If you had a sec, a line of code to see how this is done would be appreciated.

Perhaps something like... `use File::Basename; use File::Spec; my $pathtolib = File::Spec->rel2abs (dirname $0);` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
