Perl can't find my files

[Alan Westhagen <afw at u dot washington dot edu>]

I wrote a perl program which uses the construct
    while (<>) {
    }

If I run this script from the directory in
which it resides, and the files whose names
are passed as arguments reside in a
subdirectory, everything works fine.

Otherwise I get the following error message:

Can't open <whatever the file name is>: No such
file or directory at <program name> line 6 .

I am certain that the files in the argument list
do indeed exist, because I run an "ls" with the
same pattern and they are listed.

I must be missing an environment variable opr
some other configuration switch.

Has anyone experienced this problem?
