Not exactly an answer to your question, but perhaps something that may
be of use to you...
The following cross platform snippet (found somewhere on the web, I
believe) will return the path of where the script is running.
if ($0=~m#^(.*)\\#){ $cgidir = "$1"; } # win/dos
elsif ($0=~m#^(.*)/# ){ $cgidir = "$1"; } # Unix
else {`pwd` =~ /(.*)/; $cgidir = "$1"; } # Unix
I'm guessing you could use it to find a base directory, and then do
relative stuff from there. You may also be able to use its test blocks
to flag whether or not you're on a windows box and construct your
relative paths accordingly. There are probably other ways that platform
can be determined, but TMTOWTDI seems to be a credo around here.
Hope this helps.
