The Module

What happens if our new Class::Phrasebook object fails to find the XML file?

• a log message will be written to a log file.

How is the XML file found if we do not supply any path?

• The class automatically searches the following directories:
  • The current directory.
  • The directory ./lib in the current directory.
  • The directory ../lib in the current directory.
  • @INC.

This allows us to create an XML file that comes with a module in an easy way: We should place the XML file in a lib directory below the directory of our module. Therefore, if the module we write is Blah, then its XML file will be placed in the directory Blah/lib.
