Using MS-DOS Perl, I would like to be able to say something like
require 'c:/writing/perl/util.ph'; rather than
require '/writing/perl/util.ph'; (because I might not be working on
c: drive at the time)
but the former version is not recognised as a full pathname. Perl tries to
find <foo>/c:/writing/perl/util.ph, for each <foo> in the @INC list.
util.ph adds a couple of directories to @INC, so I don't have to worry
about the locations of future "require"d files. This is a bit ugly -
is there any way (environment variable? command line argument?) I can
tell perl what should be in @INC? Can I put multiple directories in
the PERLLIB (sp?) environment variable? If so, what's the syntax?
(I just thought of that now and can't try it out for at least another
2 hours, unfortunately)
This is in my recreational use of Perl, rather than that for which I get
paid, so it's important :-)
