( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

writing tests for perl scripts that are part of a larger application. for historical reasons, the scripts do not have a .pl extension. using Test::More
the file I want to test is located in a relative directory "/source/bin"
I'm trying

unshift @INC, '/source/bin'; require_ok('foo')

but I get the error message:

not ok 1 - require foo; # Tried to require 'foo'. # Error: Can't locate foo.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /source/bin +(blah, blah, blah) at (eval 6) line 2.

maybe the more important question is "can I 'require' a script without a '.pl' extension?" because if I change it to foo.pl the test works. but again, for historical reasons, the scripts do not have extensions and changing that would require more refactoring than I can do (at this time)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
