On my Mac OS X (Darwin), when I install a Perl module from CPAN, it is installed in or under this directory:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/
Recently I got hankerin' to look at the source code for Devel::Cover. I would have expected to find it here:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/Devel/Cover.pm
Much to my surprise, it wasn't there!
The 'cover' utility -- what you actually use to make use of Devel::Cover -- was in the location where I expected it:
/usr/local/bin/cover
Using the Mac's Find function, Cover.pm was reported as being in:
~/.cpan/build/Devel-Cover-0.49/lib/Devel/Cover.pm
and in the corresponding /blib/lib directory. Of course, I expected it to be here as a residue from its installation ... but I expected it to be in some 'lib' directory as well.
Can anyone clue me in?
Is it correctly installed: `perl -MDevel::Cover -e1`
If so, you can find it with: `perldoc -l Devel::Cover`
BTW, A quick way to view the source is: `perldoc -m Devel::Cover`
