Current Directory when test.pl runs ? Peter Billam 12-14-2004

 Greetings. When test.pl is invoked, by all the various things
that invoke it, is it reliably in the current directory ?

I'd like to be able to say (in test.pl) e.g.

require './Bar.pm'; import Foo::Bar;

so that when I'm editing and debugging Bar.pm I know I'm testing my
latest work.

Or should I use simply

use Foo::Bar;

but then not be quite sure if I'm testing a previously installed version ?
OTOH, this does allow testing the installed version on purpose, with

cd ; perl /home/wherever/Foo-Bar-1.01/test.pl

What's the recommended useage (or requireage) in test.pl ?

When testing you should simply set PERL5LIB
