=head1 NAME
FindBin - Locate directory of original perl script
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use FindBin;
use lib "$FindBin::Bin/../lib";
or
use FindBin qw($Bin);
use lib "$Bin/../lib";
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Locates the full path to the script bin directory to allow the use
of paths relative to the bin directory.
This allows a user to setup a directory tree for some software with
directories C<<
/bin >> and C<< /lib >>, and then the above
example will allow the use of modules in the lib directory without knowing
where the software tree is installed.
If perl is invoked using the B<-e> option or the perl script is read from
C then FindBin sets both C<$Bin> and C<$RealBin> to the current
directory.
=head1 EXPORTABLE VARIABLES
$Bin - path to bin directory from where script was invoked
$Script - basename of script from which perl was invoked
$RealBin - $Bin with all links resolved
$RealScript - $Script with all links resolved
=head1 KNOWN ISSUES
If there are two modules using C from different directories
under the same interpreter, this won't work. Since C uses a
C block, it'll be executed only once, and only the first caller
will get it right. This is a problem under mod_perl and other persistent
Perl environments, where you shouldn't use this module. Which also means
that you should avoid using C in modules that you plan to put
on CPAN. To make sure that C will work is to call the C
function:
use FindBin;
FindBin::again(); # or FindBin->again;
In former versions of FindBin there was no C function. The
workaround was to force the C block to be executed again:
delete $INC{'FindBin.pm'};
require FindBin;
=head1 KNOWN BUGS
If perl is invoked as
perl filename
and I does not have executable rights and a program called
I exists in the users C<$ENV{PATH}> which satisfies both B<-x>
and B<-T> then FindBin assumes that it was invoked via the
C<$ENV{PATH}>.
Workaround is to invoke perl as
perl ./filename
