Subdirectories and use lib

I'd like to organize a project's files into subdirectories for =
better housekeeping. I thought that use lib "."; would also include any =
subdirectories, but sadly it doesn't. Is there a way to include all =
subdirs without having a list a mile long like this?
use lib "/Applications/MAMP/cgi-bin/cart/sql/lib/Module/";
use lib "/Applications/MAMP/cgi-bin/cart/sql/lib/Params/";
use lib "/Applications/MAMP/cgi-bin/cart/sql/Business/CreditFraud/";
etc...

Or am I going about it the wrong way?

Thanks,
Marc=

I think you are.

You can load modules from lib using "use Module::SubModule;" or "use
Params::Validate" - no need to load all subdirectories. Just use "::" for
loading stuff in sub-directories. For more information see:

http://perl-begin.org/topics/modules-and-packages/

Thanks, Shlomi. That's all it took to get it to sink in.

I went back and re-read chapter 10 of "Beginning Perl" and it =
_finally_ makes sense to me now.

Thanks again,
Marc


BTW, I would like to thank everyone who responds to questions like these =
on this list. I've read "Beginning Perl" twice, "Learning Perl", and a =
couple of others, but sometimes things just don't sink in until someone =
goes out of their way to give a simple explanation, and then it's like a =
switch has been thrown.

So, sincerely, thanks to everyone here who's willing to help. I'm sure =
it can be frustrating at times to put up with these questions, but it =
really does make a difference.=

Thanks for the comment - it made me happier. I'm glad to see our help is be=
ing
appreciated.

BTW, if you want to get very quick answers to simple (and
not-so-simple) questions, feel free to come to #perl on the Freenode Intern=
