[MacPerl] lib and referances

[Nicholas.G.Thornton@directory.reed.edu (Nicholas G. Thornton)]

I'm messing arround with writing some modules. For this one I'm working on I'd like to access a file in the same folder as the module. (i.e. a hard relative path from the 'lib' folder). But I cannot gat it to work reliably

open FILE, "<:lib:Fenrir:beginning.txt" or die

works some of the time but not all the time. Should it matter (and I assume it will) I'm programming this on a Mac, and it will be used as well on a WinNT and *nix box.

Basically what I'm looking for is something like the initial '/' in html referances that takes you back to the root. In this case the root being 'lib'
