Thanks!
The magic seems to be in the writing of a Makefile.PL file. Here is mine so
far:
use strict;
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
&WriteMakefile(
NAME => 'MyLibrary',
DISTNAME => 'MyLibrary',
VERSION => '3.0-alpha',
ABSTRACT => 'MyLibrary - a database-driven website framework',
PMLIBDIRS => [ qw( lib/ ) ],
AUTHOR => 'Eric Lease Morgan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>',
PREREQ_PM => { 'Test::More' => 0, },
dist => { COMPRESS => 'gzip -9f', SUFFIX => 'gz', },
depend => { Makefile => '$(VERSION_FROM)' },
);
Once I created this file, I was able to make bunches o' things, including my
tests. Cool!
'More later.
