use lib relative pathnames - redux

Hello,

I'm trying to use libraries that are relative to the perl module or
script that's being called.

The below code will not work
use lib '../lib'
if I execute the script from a different drive letter, or from a
different directory in Windows.

I found this thread from 8 years ago: http://tinyurl.com/drsoh

Some people were going to use the following code:

use lib File::Basename::dirname(__FILE__) . "../lib";

Is there a more up to date solution?

Thanks,
--Nate

Don't know about up to date, but I used this one in the past:
