Thanks mojotoad.
I'm not sure the abs_path method will work for me. I'm trying to share a set of scripts and associated files via a Windows network share. Here's what happens if I run
use Cwd qw(abs_path);
print "I am ", abs_path($0), "\n";
via a script located on the network share:
C:\>path_test.pl
Cannot chdir to \\flash\it\NOC-TO~1\PATH_T~1.PL:No such file or direct
+ory at \\flash\it\NOC-TO~1\PATH_T~1.PL line 2
I'm guessing Cwd has issues with UNC paths.
Perhaps I'll have to use $0 and hope for the best.
$ echo '$0 & $0 &' > foo; chmod a+x foo; foo;

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
