perl get the path of a module inside the module?

I have a perl module /x/y/z/test.pm. Inside this module, I want to read a config file /x/y/z/test.config. Yet, I am including my module from /a/b/c/mymain.pl. How can I get /x/y/z/ to build the path for /x/y/z/test.config in /x/y/z/test.pm?

Thanks,

AFAIK FindBin will show mymain.pl (and it might have been used in other modules, then the first invocation will win). Try __FILE__:

my $path = __FILE__;
$path =~ s/pm$/config/;
