I'm trying to set up a large-ish project, written in Perl. The IBM MakeMaker tutorial has been very helpful so far, but I don't understand how to link all the modules into the main program. In my project root, I have MANIFEST
, Makefile.PL
, README
, a bin
directory, and a lib
directory. In my bin
directory, I have my main script (Main.pl
). In the lib
directory, I have each of my modules, divided up into their own respective directories (i.e. Utils::Util1
and Utils::Utils2
in the utils
directory, etc). In each module directory, there is also a t
directory, containing tests
My MANIFEST
file has the following:
bin/Main.pl
lib/Utils/Util1.pm
lib/Utils/Util2.pm
lib/Utils/t/Utils1.t
lib/Utils/t/Utils2.t
Makefile.PL
MANIFEST
README
Makefile.PL
is the following:
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
WriteMakefile(
'NAME'=>'Foo',
'VERSION_FROM'=>'bin/Main.pl',
'PREREQ_PM'=>{
"XML::Simple"=> 2.18}, #The libraries that we need and their
#minimum version numbers
'EXE_FILES' =>[("bin/Main.pl")]
);
After I make and run, the program crashes, complaining that it cannot find Utils::Util1
, and when I run 'make test
, it says no tests defined
. Can anyone make any suggestions? I have never done a large scale project like this in perl, and I will need to add many more modules
