in thread __FILE__ fails in app built with PAR::Packer

I also think it's a less-than-appealing that __FILE__ is not always absolute
Wait a minute! I take that back! if __FILE__ were absolute, it would be hardcoded to the path of a file outside of my PAR archive and my scripts would never run on a remote site!



The mantra of every experienced web application developer is the same: thou shalt separate business logic from display. Ironically, almost all template engines allow violation of this separation principle, which is the very impetus for HTML template engine development.
