Other posters have given the canonical answers to this already, so I won't repeat them.

Just a word of caution: if you're using modules that put objects or CODE refs in the @INC array, i.e. potentially load code without reading from a file, either method will not work.

One such case are packaging modules such as PAR or ex::lib::zlib. So depending on how your module is used, the answer is: It's impossible to find its filename!

If you're going to write code that requires the location of the module file name, please think about it some more. It might not be the smartest way to solve your problem.

Cheers,
Steffen

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
