loading modules run test

[mmccaws2]

I would like to find out where the files that test a module when
installed are stored.

I was in my Perl class installing perl modules while trying to pay
attention to the lecture. Well, my mac needed some additional
modules, which I allowed it to pursue the others and install them. As
it was installing each you could see the command line streaming away
with all the tests being performed on each package.
What happens to those test files for a module? I'd like to learn from
them.

Also while I wasn't paying too much attention to which modules I was
saying yes to THE NEXT THING I REALIZED WAS THE LAPTOP WAS TALKING TO
ME I'd like to find that test.

is there a way to find out which module was installed when?

Thanks
Mike

I would like to find out where the files that test a module when

Typically modules from CPAN store tests under the "t"
subdirectory. It may be helpful for you to look at
the "MANIFEST" of a few modules. For example:

http://search.cpan.org/~mschwern/Test-Simple-0.67/MANIFEST

lists

t/00signature.t
t/00test_harness_check.t
etc.

as tests.

If you used the 'cpan' utility to install modules,
then the files you downloaded should be found under
your $HOME/.cpan/build directory.

Nothing happens to those files (unless the 'cpan' utility
decides to reclaim some disk space by deleting older
files).

The after-effect from a college frat party?
Either that, or you installed something like
Mac::Carbon that has this test:

http://search.cpan.org/src/CNANDOR/Mac-Carbon-0.77/Speech/t/Speech.t

Try

$ perldoc perllocal
