Since \f(CW\*(C`FindBin\*(C'\fR uses a +\&\f(CW\*(C`BEGIN\*(C'\fR block, it'll be executed only once, and only the first caller +will get it right. This is a problem under mod_perl and other persistent +Perl environments, where you shouldn't use this module. Which also means +that you should avoid using \f(CW\*(C`FindBin\*(C'\fR in modules that you plan to put +on CPAN. To make sure that \f(CW\*(C`FindBin\*(C'\fR will work is to call the \f(CW\*(C`again\*(C'\fR +function: +.PP +.Vb 2 +\& use FindBin; +\& FindBin::again(); # or FindBin\->again; +.Ve +.PP +In former versions of FindBin there was no \f(CW\*(C`again\*(C'\fR function. The +workaround was to force the \f(CW\*(C`BEGIN\*(C'\fR block to be executed again: +.PP +.Vb 2 +\& delete $INC{\*(AqFindBin.pm\*(Aq}; +\& require FindBin; +.Ve +.SH AUTHORS +.IX Header "AUTHORS" +FindBin is supported as part of the core perl distribution.
