Re^2: Logging module sometimes writes its file in the wrong directory

Do you think that I should just get rid of the

BEGIN
 {
  if ($::dir) {
    $dir = $::dir;
   }
  else {
    $0 =~ '(.*[\\\/])\w+\.\w+$'; 
    $dir = $1;
   }
 }
[download]

And just use

use File::Basename;

my $dir = dirname($0);
[download]

in the module?

If you want to use the directory where your script is, then yes. You can also use: `use FindBin qw($Bin); my $dir = $Bin;` [download] -imran Update: if you want to open the file in the current directory that you are in, don't use $dir, just do open with the filename. This is unless a chdir was done.	[reply] [d/l]
