Folks,

I'd like to use Module::Starter to create the basic files for writing modules and I'd like to use the module sthus created while they're still in development, eg. right from their respective blib/ directories.

Problem is, my application can't find them. I have a new module (not created with Module-Starter) just one up directory away and there's no problem in finding it, but the one in blib/ cannot be found.

Here's what I do:

The directories:

~/Devel/Perl/ModuleDevel/ProjectConfig/ProjectConfig.pm

~/Devel/Perl/ModuleDevel/Some-Utils-Text/blib/lib/Some/Utils/Text.pm

The application:

use lib "$ENV{HOME}/Devel/Perl/ModulesDevel/";

use ProjectConfig;

use Some::Utils::Text;

The ProjectConfig module is found and used all right, but not the other. I tried ExtUtils::testlib; as shown in Perl's documentation, but to no avail.

Is it possible at all to work with a module still under development in a blib/ directory and if so, how ?

UPDATE

There was an error: ProjectConfig.pm was still in the application's directory, so it was always found. I removed it and both modules were not found. Good.

To be able to use them at their own location I now do, in the main app: 

use lib "$ENV{HOME}/Devel/Perl/ModulesDevel/ProjectConfig/";
use lib "$ENV{HOME}/Devel/Perl/ModulesDevel/Some-Utils-Text/blib/lib/S
+ome/Utils/";

Certainly not the most graceful solution, but it works and I can use Module::Starter.
