How to Get Perl to Automatically Look in Specific Directories for Scripts?

[WingedKnight]

I have ActiveState Perl installed on a Windows machine.

Now, suppose I have scripts, including one called "SomeScript.pl", in this directory:

"C:\Example\Foo\Bar\"

How do I configure Perl to automatically look in that directory for scripts when it is passed a script path?

For example, from the command line, I can run...:

perl C:\Example\Foo\Bar\SomeScript.pl

...just fine.

But the following...:

perl SomeScript.pl

fails because Perl doesn't know to look in the "C:\Example\Foo\Bar\" directory. How do I configure Perl to automatically look in some specific directory for scripts when passed a script name from the command line?

Add the script location to the PATH environment variable.

Add the script location to the PATH environment variable.

By itself, that does not actually work, and...

perl SomeScript.pl

...will still fail, but I learned from somewhere elsewhere that this does work in combination with the -S switch:

perl -S SomeScript.pl

Maybe that's a 'Windows thing', been a while since I ran anything on Windows.
