Hi Vic,

I think you are either looking for the 'pwd' function or the 'which' function. I 
actually don't know what Perl gives you...

So 'pwd' returns the actual path you're in, but if the path isn't that your 
functio is in, then you should better use which ('function') and function is 
name of the function you're using.

Hope this is the one you're looking for,
Thomas
