So I found some time to work on my Parse::Gnaw module but it's been so long I can't seem to get some basic things to work anymore.
I have a directory /blah/Parse-Gnaw/ where I was doing most of my work. Next to that there are a bunch of tarballs, like /blah/Parse-Gnaw-0.40.tar.gz if I go into the existing /blah/Parse-Gnaw/ and type perl Makefile.PL, I get an error: > Unable to open MakeMaker.tmp: Permission denied at /usr/share/perl/5.10/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm line 908. > # Looks like your test died before it could output anything. If I copy a tarball, unzip it, untar it, I get a directory like /blah/Parse-Gnaw-0.40 When I cd there and type perl Makefile.PL, it works. > Writing Makefile for Parse::Gnaw I wanted to be able to run all my tests in my working area, (something like "make test" if I remember correctly), but I can't seem to get that far. It's been a while since I worked with module distributions. Am I supposed to work in something like a /blah/Parse-Gnaw-0.40/ directory? Or should I be able to work in a /blah/Parse-Gnaw/ directory? I'm pretty sure I worked in my /blah/Parse-Gnaw/ directory, but I don't remember how I ran all my tests because make test doesn't work. And I don't remember how I generated distributions because make dist doesn't work either. Sorry if this is really basic and I'm missing something simple. I just can't remember how I did this before. I'll be sure and take notes so I don't forget again. Greg _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
