initself

To build a package, use Module::Install, ya turkey!

cpan Module::Install

Make a directory for your package to reside:

mkdir /home/you/My-Package

Put your module in the 'lib' directory. This is where all your code is going to live.

mkdir lib
mkdir My
touch My/Package.pm

Put your code in My/Package.pm, or copy the file you already wrote here.

Then, create a Makefile.PL in /home/you/My-Package:

use inc::Module::Install;

# Define metadata
name           'My-Package';
perl_version   '5.006';
version        '0.01';
license        'perl';

# Specific dependencies
test_requires  'Test::More'  => '0.42';

WriteAll;

Then, just run your new shiny file, pal!

perl Makefile.PL && make && make install && make clean && rm Makefile.old

While your at it, put that in a file called 'install.sh' so you can execute that each time you install it. You've gotta be root to run this sucker!

sudo sh install.sh

Afterwards, your directory will looks like this:

inc/  install.sh*  lib/ Makefile.PL  META.yml

You're installed!
