didess has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi all monks !

Is there any way to know which file has been found and loaded from @INC, after a "use" or "require" ?

For example, if I "use myPack;" I'd like to print "Package myPack was in file "....";

Thanks for your help !

    For a quick locater, you can use perldoc's -l option: 
    perldoc -l CGI
gives
/usr/lib/perl5/5.14.1/CGI.pm
