what are blib lib

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

When I do this:

module-starter --mb --module="Animal" --email="a@example.com"
perl Build.PL
./Build
[download]

directories such as blib lib t _build are created

What does these directories exactly do? I know t is test directory but I have no idea about blib,lib,_build directory

Ok I found it my self When I do module-starter --mb --module="Animal" --email="a@example.com" there are lib,t directories. t is test directory and lib directory contains what we're gonna build. When we invoke perl Build.PL, that makes script named Build and Build uses files in _build directory When we invoke Build directory blib is created and that contains output files	[reply]

Correct. Also see what happens when you do a `build distclean`. Those directories created in the build process should go away. --MidLifeXis	[reply] [d/l]
