I am quite new to programming and I have never released an app before. I 
might like to use gnome-hello-perl as a starting point. There's one 
general question I'm wondering: What's the standard way to test your app 
when writing the code, since the final product should have those @...@ 
path variables and doesn't run uncompiled. Should I just use absolute 
pathnames while writing the code and manually edit before making a 
releasable package?
