Agreed, using an absolute pathname is best. The only time I'd use a relative one in a case like this were if I had already used chdir with an absolute path to switch to a particular directory that contained multiple subdirectories for different kinds of things; then I'd use relative paths to access those subdirectories.

Thank you Aaron and Corion Aaron, I have tried at first 'myDir' without slashes but it didn't work. I realize now it was because my script was running from 'cgi-bin' so it was looking in '/cgi-bin/myDir'. Corion, a good observation, noted. Yoshiro	[reply]

well, if you are running this in a cgi script, another possibility would be using FindBin to avoid an absolute path. `find(..., "$FindBin::Bin/../myDir");`	[reply] [d/l]
