Are you "deaf" or something? `use lib '.';` [download] To be on the safe side, and if you plan on chdirring in your script, it's safer to do `use Cwd; use lib cwd;` [download] cwd(), short for the "current working directory", is a function in Cwd that returns the absolute path for the current directory, thus ".". More flexible still is something like `use File::Spec::Functions 'rel2abs'; use lib rel2abs('.');` [download] because this way it's easy to add an absolute path out of a specified relative path, say a subdirectory of the current directory: `use File::Spec::Functions 'rel2abs'; use lib rel2abs('lib');` [download] In general, I prefer to use the functions from File::Spec::Functions, but if you don't use it for anything else, I'd avoid the namespace pollution from importing the sub name, and use the more convoluted syntax using the methods: `use File::Spec; use lib File::Spec->rel2abs('lib');` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I have winXP, ActiveState and a dot. `for (@INC){ print "$_\n" }` [download] outputs: `C:/Perl/lib C:/Perl/site/lib .` [download] In a cgi script with taint on the dot gets stripped. Is that what you are doing?	[reply] [d/l] [select]

same setup here, and it looks in the script dir just fine.	[reply]
