when you use h2xs -A -X -n Simple::Class, h2xs creates the directory Simple/Class and puts the file Class.pm in Simple/Class instead of Simple, but as the transcript below shows, I can't do a perl -I. from the same directory I created the class and have a simple use Simple::Class work... does anyone know why this is?

[localhost:Seamstress/Seamstress/t] metaperl% head -4 ./Simple/Class/C
+lass.pm
package Simple::Class;

1;
[localhost:Seamstress/Seamstress/t] metaperl% perl -I. -MSimple::Class

• 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.
