Title: Best practices for user written perl modules
Post by: LANMonkey on July 27, 2010, 12:55:50 AM

I am writing my own perl modules and I am trying to figure out where to put them.  I am having problems getting them to work from directories accross users, but before I tackle that problem, I'd like to know if there might be a better way to handle them native to SME.

What is the way user written perl modules should be handled in SME?  Should they be with the rest of the perl modules?  Where should they go?

I agree with Stefano. The mailing list is called 'devinfo'.

You have to do more than subscribe - you have to start a discussion as well.

Right.

I am currently reading the "Writing a Distribution" part of O'Reilly's "Learning Perl Objects References and Modules".  There is too much I don't know about installing modules generally to broach a discussion right now about what is different in SME.

What's the hurry?

OK, fair enough. Good work.
