You may better refer to File::Basename module.   -Nikhil -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Venkata Reddy Chappavarapu Sent: Friday, February 25, 2005 10:33 AM To: perl-unix-users@listserv.ActiveState.com Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Perl-unix-users] How to get absolute path for a given file? Hi,   I am wondering is there a way to get the absolute path for a given file in perl?   My requirement is as follows: 1)     I have a driver script like ~/testing/test_driver.pl. 2)     Inside the driver script I need to run all the scripts ~/testing/testsrc/*.pl. 3)     So, if I know the absolute path of the driver script I can go to the testsrc directory relative to that and I can do a ‘ls’ to get all the scripts. 4)     So that I can run the driver script irrespective of the directory. Ex: ../../../testing/test_driver.pl     Any kind of help is most welcome. J   Thanks in advance!!!   Regards cvr/
