  use Compiler;
  
  my $compiler = Compiler->new;
  
  $compiler->add_module_dir("lib");
  
  $compiler->set_start_file(__FILE__);
  
  {
    my $class_name = "Foo";
    $compiler->set_start_line(__LINE__ + 1);
    my $success = $compiler->compile($class_name);
    unless ($success) {
      my $error_messages = $compiler->get_error_messages;
      for my $error_message (@$error_messages) {
        warn "$error_message";
      }
      die "Can't compile the \"$class_name\" class";
    }
  }
  
  {
    my $class_name = "Bar";
    $compiler->set_start_line(__LINE__ + 1);
    my $success = $compiler->compile($class_name);
    unless ($success) {
      my $error_messages = $compiler->get_error_messages;
      for my $error_message (@$error_messages) {
        warn "$error_message";
      }
