changing to working directory of embperl files in 2.0?

[Dan Lenski <le...@umd.edu>]

Hi, I'm using Embperl 2.0 under Debian.  I just switched from 1.3.  Is
there a way to get the old behavior of having Embperl switch into the
working directory of a file that it processes?

My problem is that I like to use perl modules from the same directory as
the file and this won't work now:
  [- use SuperTable; # SuperTable.pm is in same dir as html file -]

Please let me know if there's a way to do this in 2.0.  I haven't even
been able to figure out a workaround...

Dan

$epreq -> commponent -> cwd

returns the directory of the source file

As long as you module doesn't import anything you can use requiree

[-
require $epreq -> commponent -> cwd . 'SuperTable.pm' ;
-]

Or if you like to use use, make a chdir

[!
BEGIN { chdir $epreq -> commponent -> cwd } 
use SuperTable ;
!]

Of couse you can also put the directory SuperTable.pm is in, into your perl
search path on server startup e.g.

use lib qw{/path/to/modules} ;
