Hi im new to perl, and im currently trying to create, and run my own module.

Here is my module code .pm file

#!/bin/usr/perl use warnings; sub dog { print "roof roof im a dog!\n"; } dog; 1;

and here is my .pl file to run the simple module.

#!/usr/bin/perl use lib '.'; use dog; dog;

Every-time i try to run the code i get this message

$ perl drill.pl Can't locate dog.pm in @INC (you may need to install the dog module) ( +@INC contains: . /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/share/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5 +/core_perl /usr/share/perl5/core_perl) at drill.pl line 4. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at drill.pl line 4.

PLEASE HELP!!
