Hey Dudes
Perl has a nice facility for storing data in a module by using __DATA__
etc.
However I have a standard data format that is used by multiple systems
(including a pending Java version etc) so putting it in DATA is not a
really good idea.
Anyway my problem is this. I have a file call regulator.dat (which can
have another name).
Where should I put it in the file system so that my perl module can find
it. Remember that perl modules can be installed in multiple operating
systems including Windows and Mac so putting it in /var/X, or /usr/lib/X
or /etc/X is not a good idea necessarily.
Is there no answer to this, damn it ?
