+=head1 NAME
+
+FindBin - Locate directory of original perl script
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ use FindBin;
+ BEGIN { unshift(@INC,"$FindBin::Bin/../lib") }
+
+ or
+
+ use FindBin qw($Bin);
+ BEGIN { unshift(@INC,"$Bin/../lib") }
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Locates the full path to the script bin directory to allow the use
+of paths relative to the bin directory.
+
+This allows a user to setup a directory tree for some software with
+directories <root>/bin and <root>/lib and then the above example will allow
+the use of modules in the lib directory without knowing where the software
+tree is installed.
+
+If perl is invoked using the -e option or the perl script is read from
+C<STDIN> then FindBin sets both C<$Bin> and C<$RealBin> to the current
+directory.
+
+=head1 EXPORTABLE VARIABLES
+
+ $Bin - path to bin directory from where script was invoked
+ $Script - basename of script from which perl was invoked
+ $RealBin - $Bin with all links resolved
+ $RealScript - $Script with all links resolved
+
+=head1 KNOWN BUGS
+
+if perl is invoked as
+
+ perl filename
+
+and I<filename> does not have executable rights and a program called I<filename>
+exists in the users C<$ENV{PATH}> which satisfies both -x and -T then FindBin
+assumes that it was invoked via the C<$ENV{PATH}>.
+
+Workaround is to invoke perl as
+
+ perl ./filename
