I've been trying my hand at making a simple perl module.

Now, so far I write this on the top of the file where I want to use the module to test it out:

use lib("path_to_my_module/lib");
[download]

Everything works ok till I try to run the default tests (generated by module starter). I get:

#   Failed test 'use Dancer::Plugin::Foo;'
#   at t/00-load.t line 12.
#     Tried to use 'Dancer::Plugin::Foo'.
#     Error:  Can't locate Dancer/Plugin/Foo.pm

It fails this test:

BEGIN {
    use_ok( 'Dancer::Plugin::Foo' ) || print "Bail out!\n";
}
[download]

Thats all because the path is not right. But, even if I use use lib(path to_module) it doesn't work.

How do you guys usually use and test your modules locally before publishing them? How should I get the test to pass? I can't just add a use lib there!

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).
