Hi,
if I write some code consisting of several modules which are of no use for CPAN (or don't need it for several scripts), I like to keep them with the scripts in a directory structure like, e.g.
myscript/bin ..... scripts
myscript/lib ..... modules
myscript/lib/build . for building modules with h2xs
myscript/source .. sourcefiles
myscript/log ..... for logfiles
myscript/doc ..... documentation
myscript/work .... working dir(s)
myscript/result .. output dir
....
or the like.
If I do it this way, I prefer loading modules the following way:
BEGIN {
use FindBin ();
use lib "$FindBin::Bin/../lib";
require ModulXY;
} # BEGIN
Btw: I could use "use" instead of require, but since I hardly ever do namespace pollution, I somehow quite satisfied with require.
For building modules, I use h2xs if there's just a slight change that I could share it on CPAN, and keep several build directories and keep links (under Unix/Linux) from ./lib to the modules untill they are finished.
So far, my 2 cent...
Best regards,

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).
