Hello,

the usual procedure, however, is to run them directly as part of the build
procedure:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test <-- here

# or

perl Build.PL
./Build
./Build test <-- here

I would like to add that when building a distribution (i.e. 'make dist' or 'Build dist'), don't forget to 'make disttest' or 'Build disttest', too.

The 'disttest' action will gather up all the files in a directory as if for the .tar.gz, but then run the tests in this directory. This way, you can see whether you actually have everything bundled up.

From what you said, it does not appear that you use 'make dist' et al., so this may not apply to you. However, have a look at their documentation, you may want to use this to create your archive for uploading.

Regards,
