Problem with relative path

Hi,
I have EmbPerl2.0r3, Apache2, mod_perl2 1.99 (Debian Sarge)

/foo/index.epl:
[-
  open F, "/foo/example_file.txt";   # <-- THIS WORKING
  open F, "./example_file.txt";  # <-- THIS NOT WORKING, WHY ?
-]

Thanks
Marek

For performance reasons, Embperl 2 does not change the current directory.

You can get the directory of your script with $epreq -> component -> cwd, so
you can write

  open F, $epreq -> component -> cwd . "/example_file.txt";
