Need some help with ERuby.import

Hello,
I am developing a small website using mod_ruby + eruby, and I was wondering
if someone could help me. With regard to the ERuby.import, how do I avoid
specifying the absolute path name?

Say, I have the following files located in the document root: ‘/var/www/’

  • index.rhtml
  • header.rhtml
  • footer.rhtml

In the first file (index.rhtml), I call:

  • ERuby.import(‘header.rhtml’)
  • ERuby.import(‘footer.rhtml’).

The above works fine. However, when I want to work on any files below the
document root, the only solution I could think of was this:

  • ERuby.import(ENV[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’] + ‘header.rhtml’)

I’m sorry if this question has been asked before, I did browse the mod_ruby
mailing list archives.
Thanks, Oliver.
