Message: [QUOTE="Ben Morrow, post: 4746412"] You should check what you write before you post. For instance, have a look at perldoc -m FindBin. What FindBin does is make a rather more sophisticated attempt than you recommend at extracting the path of the script out of $0: the fact that it sometimes refuses to work is because this is not always possible. For instance, invoking a script as 'perl script' will leave only 'script' in $0, with no path info at all. See also KNOWN BUGS in perldoc FindBin: there is no way round this problem. Ben [/QUOTE]
