Message: [QUOTE="Josef Möllers, post: 4746394"] That's what the notions of "current working directory" and "relative path" do. You either specify an absolute path or your specify a relative path and the system sort-of prepends the current working directory. As for finding executables: add their absolute path(s) to the PATH environment variable. As for finding files: either put them into a well-known location (/lib, /usr/lib, $HOME/lib, ...) or provide the absolute path of their location into an environment variable (MY_DATAFILE_PATH=/perlfiles) or into a configuration file ($HOME/.myperlconfig) or whatever, but the system is pretty helpless in guessing where your files are.
