[gentoo-dev] where to put *.pm files

[gentoo-dev] where to put *.pm files

[Rene Zbinden]

Hi 

I am writing a new ebuild. The program contains a perlscript (mainprog.pl) 
which needs two perl modules like (module1.pm module2.pm)

I will put mainprog.pl in /usr/bin but where do I put the two modules. Shall I 
put them in /usr/share/programename and put that to the perl path?

Well, first off, how does the program look for the perl modules? If it isn't 
suggesting that you place them in your @INC, then it is most likely loading 
them directly. So it all depends on how the main script (please tell me it 
isn't really called mainprog.pl) tries to load those modules as to the best 
place to put them.

/me waits for the bug report for this one

Yes the program looks in @INC for the modules and no the name of the program 
is not mainprog.pl. How can I put the two modules in the @INC the gentoo way. 
I saw that there is a perl eclass, but I am not sure how to use it correctly.
I will file a Bug when the program works. Or should I already file a bug?

Until now I have submitted several ebuilds and patches but none made it into 
the portage tree....

Perl modules needs to go under /path/to/perl-version/vendor_perl/ in that case 
(vendor_perl being the key). You can call perl within a function to get the 
perl version/vendor_path (see eclass).

And i'm going to leave the comment on submitting ebuilds dangling lest i start 
a flame war :)

Is this a package that is currently on CPAN? If so, I have a relatively
useful skeleton for writing CPAN ebuilds. I was able to install several
CPAN packages this way. In the ebuild, you'll need to edit or delete any
line marked with "XXX", but that will likely be all you need to get it
to work. Let me know if anything needs more explanation.

Do you know about g-cpan.pl ?

Thanks, but unfortunately it is not on CPAN.
