From: Bart the bear on 10 Feb 2006 10:35 I have to untangle somebody else's code and I ran accross the pragma "use library". I cannot find in the "Programming Perl" or anywhere else. Can somebody tell me what that pragma does or where to find the description? TIA

There are two possibilities: (1) Someone was being cute, and they named their module library.pm (2) Or, your post is inaccurate, and the statement is actually: use lib '/some/path'; If it is (1), find the module library.pm that is being used. If it is (2), then read perldoc lib Sinan
