Hi Monks,

is there a nice simple (I cant find one yet) description of all of these folders (perl site lib auto) containing apparently duplicate stuff?

If I were ruler of the universe I would have one folder call lib and all modules live there (shrug).

I have been told that I can create my own stuff.pm and put in the same folder as my app.pl and just use stuff; without having to have it installed.. whats the deal with installing anyhow?

I also saw (in the poetry section) someone defining a module within the script itself (I'm a lumberjack..) but when I tried to run it to see If I could come to terms with all of this potential it failed :-(

PS Im a Win9x users so my world view may be slightly different :-)
