Re: [MacPerl] including a require file

[Todd Smith <todd@bozeman.mbt.washington.edu>]

you can also use the full path for @INC, if you do not want use the 
MacPerl lib folder.

push (@INC, "machd:mystuff:libfolder");
like a unix script,
but this doesn't work well for "porting" to other macs.

I like to keep the files togeher (main program and requires) in the same
folder, for a droplet I make an alias and leave the folder with the "source"
files alone.  If the .pl file is ref'd by other programs an alias works also
(remove the alias from the name and watch out for spaces) . But be sure to
include the original .pl file if you put the program on another mac.
