Ok well I got it, but for a while I 'thought' I wasn't doing something right Crazy

In ZipCodeSearch.pm, I have

Code:
     use strict;  
     use lib '';  
     use Links qw/$PLG/;  
     use Plugins::ZipCodeSearch;  

     local $SIG{__DIE__}  = \&Links::fatal;      

     Links::init();  
     Links::init_user();   

 if ($PLG->dispatch('check_request', \&Links::check_request)) {  
     $PLG->dispatch('handle_ZipCodeSearch', \&Plugins::ZipCodeSearch::handle);  
 }

And I get this error when running 'perl check' on the module.

Quote:

Empty compile time value given to use lib at zipcode_search.cgi line 13
Can't locate Plugins/ZipCodeSearch.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/home/virtual/site129/fst/var/www/cgi-bin/links_dev/admin /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .) at zipcode_search.cgi line 14.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at zipcode_search.cgi line 14.

Line 13 is use lib'';
I am doing proper substitutions in Install.pm for the 'path/to/admin' for use lib and Links::init().

Of course when running the perl check it can't find the PM file, because it isn't installed yet.
And the "Empty compile Time" error I have always ignored too.

For completeness, in ZipCodeSearch.pm, I have

Code:
 package Plugins::ZipCodeSearch;  
 # ==================================================================  

 use strict;  
 use GT::Base;  
 use GT::Plugins qw/STOP CONTINUE/;  
 use Links qw/:objects/;  
 use Links::Plugins;  
 use GT::Config;  
 use Links::Tools;  
 use Plugins::ZipCodeSearch;  

 # Inherit from base class for debug and error methods  
 @Plugins::ZipCodeSearch::ISA = qw(GT::Base);  

 # Your code begins here.  

 my $pi = atan2(1,1) * 4;  
 my $time_hires;  

 sub handle {  
 #--------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
 #  
     my $args    = $IN->get_hash;  
     ...  
 }

So am I just suppossed to ignore the compile error when doing 'perl check'?
Sorry guys, I am trying to get it right.

What do these 2 lines do?

Code:
 use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);  

  @Plugins::ZipCodeSearch::ISA = qw(GT::Base);

With that I should have a complete understanding.

Thanks
