The module sits in /Users/jan/Library/Scripts/Modules/Test. Now Perl tells me it cannot locate the subroutine "choose". If I place Template.pm directly into the path set in the "use lib" line and remove the "Test::" at both places, everything works fine.
sounds like your package line in the Template.pm file is set as
package Template;
and NOT as
package Test::Template;
Hence what you wanted to do is
use lib "$ENV{HOME}/Library/Scripts/Modules";
use Template;
...
my ($update_path, $gallery_title) = &Test::Template::choose();I read in the camel that double colon separators in a module name would be translated to a directory structure when Perl searches for them.
Yes and no - the yes part is that IF the package line and the file name are set appropriately.
This is one of the reasons that the perldoc advocates doing the start of a perl module with h2xs
cf perldoc h2xs
so that you can start off at least modestly sanely
my traditional rant on PM's is at <http://www.wetware.com/drieux/CS/lang/Perl/PM/quick_pm.html>
When I am brewing up a new module, I then of course use something like
<http://www.wetware.com/drieux/CS/lang/Perl/PM/PerlInstall.plx>
so that i can install the module in my home directory.
