Re: pl – Perl One-Liner Magic Wand: looking for feedback

It looks really interesting, but installing it from CPAN doesn't seem to work. I mean the install doesn't fail

% cpanm App::pl
--> Working on App::pl
Fetching http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/P/PF/PFEIFFER/App-pl-v0.63.2.t
+gz ... OK
Configuring App-pl-v0.63.2 ... OK
Building and testing App-pl-v0.63.2 ... OK
Successfully installed App-pl-v0.63.2
1 distribution installed
[download]

This just doesn't seem to install anything. As a comparison, installing App::cpanminus installs a program called cpanm

Also, when I repeat the above command, the output looks the same i.e. it re-installs instead of saying that App::pl is up to date (and still nothing is installed).

The Makefile.PL should contain something like: `"EXE_FILES" => [ "bin/pl" ],` [download] Where the pl file would actually be in `bin` directory within the distribution. There's no sense in `App:` distribution if the module just warns:`This is a just dummy package for CPAN. Please run the script 'pl' directly!`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Hello DanielPfeiffer, I'm mad for oneliners.. :) so I'd like to investigate this, but I have some test failed (strawberry perl portable) Read more... (7 kB) The only thing I find atm is a SO post where `#!perl -W` seems guilty and you have `use warnings 'all';` in all your tests. HtH L* There are no rules, there are no thumbs.. Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Have you tested what happens when installing it with `cpanm` (or just `cpan`)? It's still not installing anything (I'm using a Mac).	[reply] [d/l] [select]
