Re^2: Howto set path for local package in a Perl code

Dear holli,

Thanks so much for the reply, however after following your suggestion with this header in mycode.pl

use strict;
use warnings;
use lib "/home/neversaint/MyPerl/src";
use MYPACKAGE;
[download]

what I get is this...

~/MyPerl/src $ perl -c src/mycode.pl 

# gives

Can't locate MYPACKAGE.pm in @INC (@INC contains: home/neversaint/MyPe
+rl/src /home/neversaint/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-m
+ulti/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi
[download]

In MYPACKAGE.pm what I have is this:

# plain header nothing here...
# straight go to the functions....

sub some_func { 
# do sth; 
return $soth }

1;
[download]

Although I have no problem at all running mycode.pl in src/ directory : ~/MyPerl $ perl mycode.pl someparam

Did I still miss anything?

neversaint and everlastingly indebted.......

Which makes me think that perhaps you haven't edited the file successfully to correct that. -- <http://dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply]

neversaint, try this code. This is for you script file 'mycode.plx' `# In script file named: mycode.plx use strict; use warnings; use diagnostics; # This just gives you more info. use lib '/home/neversaint/MyPerl/src'; use MyPackage; # Now the rest of your code.` [download] This is for your package file 'MyPackage.pm' `# In MyPackage.pm package MyPackage; use strict; use warnings; use diagnostics; sub some_function { print("My some function"); }` [download] Now here is the important part. The use statement, the file name, and the package declaration *MUST* all be in the same case. Use statement: use MyPackage; File Name: MyPackage.pm Package statement: package MyPackage; Kristofer Hoch	[reply] [d/l] [select]
