NAME

       Dir::Self - a __DIR__ constant for the directory your source file is in

SYNOPSIS

         use Dir::Self;

         use lib __DIR__ . "/lib";

         my $conffile = __DIR__ . "/config";

DESCRIPTION

       Perl has two pseudo-constants describing the current location in your source code,
       "__FILE__" and "__LINE__". This module adds "__DIR__", which expands to the directory your
       source file is in, as an absolute pathname.

       This is useful if your code wants to access files in the same directory, like helper
       modules or configuration data. This is a bit like FindBin except it's not limited to the
       main program, i.e. you can also use it in modules. And it actually works.

       As of version 0.10 each use of "__DIR__" recomputes the directory name; this ensures that
       files in different directories that share the same package name get correct results. If
       you don't want this, "use Dir::Self qw(:static)" will create a true "__DIR__" constant in
       your package that contains the directory name at the point of "use".
