Current directory

[Jean-Sebastien Guay]

Hello again,   I have another problem trying to get one of my Perl modules to load in my startup.pl script for the first time. In a couple places in my scripts, I assume that the current directory is the one in which the current script is being run. So for example, if my DocumentRoot is D:/htdocs/ and someone requests http://myhostname/script.cgi, if I need to use some files, my current directory is D:/htdocs.   The two things I currently do this for are a) configuration file, which is loaded on startup by the module I am trying to get loaded in my startup.pl script b) templates (for template-toolkit), which I specify to be in the directory 'templates' relative to the location where the scripts are running, meaning they are in D:/htdocs/templates.   I see only disadvantages to having to specify absolute paths in both these cases. For one, I have another web server running on port 8080, which I use to test my scripts on, and whose DocumentRoot is D:/htdocs-dev. So if I had to manually change the paths each time I copied files over from the development DocumentRoot to the production one, I would go crazy.   Is there a way to guarantee that the current directory will be the correct one when I need it to? Or does anyone have another suggestion?   Thanks!   J-S   _______________________________________________ Jean-Sébastien Guay                  [EMAIL PROTECTED] Software Developer, Hybride         http://www.hybride.com Piedmont, Québec, Canada
