I'm trying to write a perl script that I want to make into a droplet with Dropscript. It needs it to be portable (not in the sense of cross-platform, but rather in the sense of being able to be easily moved from place to place and machine to machine.) To that end, I'm trying to make my script aware of its current location (i.e, the path to its parent directory) so it can create files in its current directory. I'm getting nowhere using either of these: $currentDir = `cwd` or Use::Cwd; $currentDir = cwd Both of those return the current path of / regardless of where the script is actually located. I was under the impression that doing so would show the current path. Is this how DropScript is supposed to work? If so, would anyone out there have any suggestions for how to do this? I have examined $0 as well, but that gives the path down into the DropScript bundle and right to the script resource itself. Obviously, I can do some regex magic on the path but that feels borderline skanky and I don't want this to break easily. --Rick AndersonThread Next
