Where can I install the Perl modules I wrote?

Question

I wrote several modules and tried to run them. How can I tell where to get the module?

I am writing on Windows and trying to put it in c:\perl\lib, but that did not help.

Is it possible to put it in the same directory as the file that calls the module?

Answer 1

Perl uses paths in:

@INC

to search for modules. (.pm files)

If you:

perl -e 'print join "\n", @INC;'

You will see which paths are currently being searched for modules. (This @INC list is compiled into the perl executable)

Then you can:

BEGIN { unshift @INC, 'C:\mylibs' }

or

use lib 'C:\mylibs'

and put MyModule.pm inside C: \ mylibs to include:

use MyModule;
