runnin perl at command line

[mike.glen]

new to running perl from command line (on linux)

if running a perl script with for example:
perl /app/server_app/cvs/app_folder/lib/createsite.pl

if you have perl modules in the same folder as createsite.pl should they be found as local files (with use in the createsite.pl) or do i have to include this directory at the command line using the -I option

thanks
