9 | FindBin - Locate directory of original perl script |
10 | |
11 | =head1 SYNOPSIS |
12 | |
13 | use FindBin; |
d7791a84 |
14 | use lib "$FindBin::Bin/../lib"; |
a73990fd |
15 | |
8b88ae92 |
16 | or |
a73990fd |
17 | |
18 | use FindBin qw($Bin); |
d7791a84 |
19 | use lib "$Bin/../lib"; |
a73990fd |
20 | |
21 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
22 | |
23 | Locates the full path to the script bin directory to allow the use |
24 | of paths relative to the bin directory. |
25 | |
26 | This allows a user to setup a directory tree for some software with |
34da6cec |
27 | directories C<< <root>/bin >> and C<< <root>/lib >>, and then the above |
28 | example will allow the use of modules in the lib directory without knowing |
29 | where the software tree is installed. |

31 | If perl is invoked using the B<-e> option or the perl script is read from |
a73990fd |
32 | C<STDIN> then FindBin sets both C<$Bin> and C<$RealBin> to the current |
33 | directory. |
34 | |
35 | =head1 EXPORTABLE VARIABLES |
36 | |
37 | $Bin - path to bin directory from where script was invoked |
38 | $Script - basename of script from which perl was invoked |
39 | $RealBin - $Bin with all links resolved |
40 | $RealScript - $Script with all links resolved |

42 | =head1 KNOWN ISSUES |
43 | |
44 | If there are two modules using C<FindBin> from different directories |
f5094128 |
45 | under the same interpreter, this won't work. Since C<FindBin> uses a |
11cd4567 |
46 | C<BEGIN> block, it'll be executed only once, and only the first caller |
47 | will get it right. This is a problem under mod_perl and other persistent |
48 | Perl environments, where you shouldn't use this module. Which also means |
49 | that you should avoid using C<FindBin> in modules that you plan to put |
f5094128 |
50 | on CPAN. To make sure that C<FindBin> will work is to call the C<again> |
51 | function: |
52 | |
53 | use FindBin; |
54 | FindBin::again(); # or FindBin->again; |
55 | |
56 | In former versions of FindBin there was no C<again> function. The |
57 | workaround was to force the C<BEGIN> block to be executed again: |
11cd4567 |
58 | |
59 | delete $INC{'FindBin.pm'}; |
60 | require FindBin; |
61 | |

62 | =head1 KNOWN BUGS |
63 | |
11cd4567 |
64 | If perl is invoked as |
a73990fd |
65 | |
66 | perl filename |
67 | |
34da6cec |
68 | and I<filename> does not have executable rights and a program called |
69 | I<filename> exists in the users C<$ENV{PATH}> which satisfies both B<-x> |
70 | and B<-T> then FindBin assumes that it was invoked via the |
71 | C<$ENV{PATH}>. |
a73990fd |
72 | |
73 | Workaround is to invoke perl as |
74 | |
75 | perl ./filename |
