Re: Rationale behind the module paths in definition of the module

[Ludovic Courtès]

When a program contains:

  (use-modules (foo bar))

Guile searches for a file named foo/bar.scm (or foo/bar) in its search
path.  The search path is defined by the user, using the GUILE_LOAD_PATH
environment variable etc. (info "(guile) Load Paths").

So the source file of that module, foo/bar.scm, can be moved around on
the file system, as long as GUILE_LOAD_PATH is adjusted to list the
directory that contains this file.

Does that answer your question?
