Re^2: prove can't find my module, even though its directory is in $INC[0]

No; prove -l gives the same result (in fact that's what I usually enter, by force of habit).

prove -l ./t/8bit.t reports that /home/henry/gitr/MAS/lib is in the path and then fails to find Global.pm, even though /home/henry/gitr/MAS/lib/MAS/Global.pm exists, and contains contains the line package MAS::Global;

contains contains the line package MAS::Global; The package directive is irrelevant. That's not used to load a module. (It can be relevant to the later step of importing symbols when using `use`, but the error happens before that.) and then fails to find Global.pm Not quite. The issue isn't that `perl` can't find `Global.pm` (or rather, `MAS/Global.pm`); it's that it's not even looking for it. As previously explained, the message indicates it's looking for a file named `MAS::Global` (i.e. `/home/henry/gitr/MAS/lib/MAS::Global`). No such file exists, thus the failure. In the earlier post where I explained this, I requested that you start by providing the complete (unedited) error message (referring the output from `prove ./t/8bit.t`) if you were still having issues.

Can you show 8bit.t? You said this doesn't happen in a different environment, are the repo files all the same when it doesn't happen?	[reply]
