I have a feeling the proposed solutions above don't give you the path relative to the module, but to the script.
Cwd is the simplest solution though:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Cwd qw(abs_path getcwd);
print "This script is: ".abs_path($0)."\n";
print "Working dir is: ".getcwd()."\n";
but that won't tell you the path from the actual module.
For that, you'll need to hard code the path to the module (I think):
my $abs_filepath = abs_path("$module_dir/$relative_pilepath");
__FILENAME__ is your friend...

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).
