relative-path

I have a module in the parent directory of my script and I would like to 'use' it. If I do use '../Foo.pm'; I get syntax errors. I tried to do: push @INC, '..'; use EPMS; and .. apparently doesn't show up in @INC I'm going crazy! What's wrong here? ephemient use takes place at compile-time, so this would work: BEGIN {push @INC, '..'} use EPMS; But the better solution is to use lib , which is a nicer way of writing the above: use lib '..'; use EPMS; In case you are running from a different directory, though, the use of FindBin is recommended: use FindBin; # locate this script use lib "$FindBin:

I am examining some code for a friend, and have found that the developer who built his site began each and every relative src , href , and include with a forward slash / . For example: src="/assets/js/jquery.js" I have never seen this before. So my question is, why would a developer place a forward slash / at the start of a relative path? It's done in order to root the path (making it an absolute path). It ensures that the path is not relative but read from the root of the site. This allows one to move a file around and not have to change the links to the different resources. Using your

I am storing style sheets in {root}/styles while images in {root}/images for a website. How do I give the path in the style sheets to go look in the images directory for the specified images? e.g. In background-image: url('/images/bg.png'); Use .. to indicate the parent directory: background-image: url('../images/bg.png'); Use ../ : background-image: url('../images/bg.png'); You can use that as often as you want, e.g. ../../images/ or even at different positions, e.g. ../images/../images/../images/ (same as ../images/ of course) S.Akruwala Here is all you need to know about relative file paths

How these 2 paths are resolved in asp.net. why these 2 gives different path. At what time we need to go for these. <link href="/common/black_theme/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet"> (this is working) <link href="~/common/black_theme/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet"> (this is not working) As per my knowledge ~ represents root directory of the application "Common" is the folder under root of the website(named testsite.demo) in IIS physical path = D:\Physicalpath\WarpFirstSite\testsite.demo common folder location - D:\Physicalpath\WarpFirstSite\testsite.demo\common / - Site root ~/ - Root directory

I have an application that resides in a single .py file. I've been able to get pyInstaller to bundle it successfully into an EXE for Windows. The problem is, the application requires a .cfg file that always sits directly beside the application in the same directory. Normally, I build the path using the following code: import os config_name = 'myapp.cfg' config_path = os.path.join(sys.path[0], config_name) However, it seems the sys.path is blank when its called from an EXE generated by pyInstaller. This same behaviour occurs when you run the python interactive command line and try to fetch sys
