I'm starting a new project in Perl, how should I begin?
- by Brad Gilbert
The question is about how to start a new Perl project.
How should I create the skeleton of the Project?
What should the directory layout look like?
How do I start testing?
What build system should I use?
Should I even use a build system?
I have been writing Perl programs for a while now. I only started to run tests on my recent programs. I know Perl the language fairly well, now it is time to learn the way to build full blown Perl projects.
I already add these to the beginning of every Perl file:
use strict;
use warnings;
# and occasionally
use autodie;
I have also used Moose.
