I was going to post an RFC on my first-ever module released to CPAN, but it appears there is a problem that needs to be resolved first. I'll post the official RFC after I am convinced others can actually install the thing.

The distribution in question is RandomJungle. There are 8 modules, one of which (TestData.pm) contains the gold-standard data that is used by the test suite. There is something wrong with my build because all of the CPAN test reports are failing with messages like this:

PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /home/cpan/pit/thr-ld/perl-5.12.3/bin/perl "-MExtUti
+ls::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.
+t

Can't locate RandomJungle/TestData.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /home/cp

It works perfectly on my local system (of course). As this is my first time through the process, I suspect I'm missing something fairly basic. Could someone please enlighten me?

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
