Re: How to best "use lib" relative to a web site root?

See FindBin. Its POD's SYNOPSIS should be enough to get you going.

Update: Also, if you generate an "app" with Mojolicious, you'll see that the app executable starts with this:

use FindBin;
BEGIN { unshift @INC, "$FindBin::Bin/../lib" }
[download]

...which is similar to the FindBin SYNOPSIS, but avoids the use of the lib pragma (not sure why).

Thank you, davido. I looked at that in perldoc, and also thought that to be a strong candidate (created for Mac filepath munging), but wasn't sure it'd fully accomplish my goal. I'll give it a go. While I'm at it, I'll see if I can deduce what would cause them to eliminate the lib pragma. Should provide me a great deal more insight on the very question I asked here. :) Thank you, davido. For taking the time to respond. --Chris #!/usr/bin/perl -Tw use Perl::Always or die; my $perl_version = (5.12.5); print $perl_version;	[reply]

I got this bit of wisdom from the source of Mojolicious enlightenment: "you'd expect that's what lib does, but it doesn't! ...and that's the problem :)" Dave	[reply]

I got this bit of wisdom from the source of Mojolicious enlightenment: "you'd expect that's what lib does, but it doesn't! ...and that's the problem :)" Calling that "wisdom" is generous :) i wouldn't trust most of what that guy complains about ... unless he provides actual detail, hes prone to FUD	[reply]
