If rlib is used from the C
package then the paths in C are assumed to be relative to where the current script C<$0> is located. This is done by using the FindBin package. If rlib is used from within any package other tha C
then the paths in C are assumed to be relative to the root of the library where the file for that package was found. If C is empty then C<"../lib","lib"> is assumed. =head1 SEE ALSO lib - module which adds paths to @INC FindBin - module for locating script bin directory =head1 AUTHOR Graham Barr =cut
