Greetings all,
I need to walk up the directory tree from where I am until I find a directory containing a certain marker file. (This is to locate the base directory of an installation, which is then used to add the project's /lib to @INC.)
Is there anything more elegant than this?
use strict; use warnings;
use Path::Tiny;
sub find_base { -f "$_[0]/.marker" ? $_[0] : find_base($_[0]->parent)
+}
my $base = find_base( path(__FILE__)->realpath->parent );
unshift @INC, "$base/lib";
use Some::Class;
...
(I am aware that this does not handle the file not being found.)
Thanks for any suggestions!
The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
