[CSC 330] Perl - Locating Binaries and Libraries

[Andrew J. Pounds]

So yesterday in class we had to include "use lib '.';" at the top of our 
scripts to get them to run.  This was a "hack" that was done because 
Perl 5.26 removed the current directory from the list of places that are 
searched for modules and executables. According to the perl 
documentation I read the proper way to handle this in Perl 5.26 is to 
include the following two lines in your script before you search for 
files...

use FindBin qw($RealBin);
use lib $RealBin;
