All the Perl that's Practical to Extract and Report

Dictionary of Perl's anicillary files

brian_d_foy on 2003-01-07T21:13:27

I want to create a list of all of the files Perl and Perly things make to do their work, so newbies can look up a filename to see what it does and who created it.

I came up with a short list right away, but I am sure other people know about files I have not run into. Who can add to this list?

site_perl
auto
.cpan
pm_to_blib
.packlist
blib/lib
blib/scripts
blib/man
MyConfig.pm
MANIFEST
MANIFEST.SKIP
Makefile
Makefile.PL
MANIFEST.bak
Makefile.bak

test.pl

I still use test.pl, its use seem to be deprececated but I still enjoy building and using custom test.pl scripts and I think you can still run into them.

If you need information on use of test.pl and some examples I can provide some.

I know what test.pl is, and now I have it on my list. :)
