Actually, MakeMaker can do just fine installing a set of scripts. Tom Christiansen's pmtools package is such a set, so you could look at the Makefile for that and see how it's done. Essentially, you just use EXE_FILES: `WriteMakefile( 'NAME' => 'Foo', 'EXE_FILES' => ['foo', 'bar'], );` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Well.. If you want to install a load of scripts. Why not make a shell script that will it for them. If you want to make a Makefile that you can use on your Perl Scripts, I'd suggest O'Reilly's book on make. Can't recall the name right off hand. It basically breaks down the parts of the make file. A make file is just a file that runs a set of commands. It's just created in a format that the application make will understand and run. If you think of Makefiles like that, it won't be hard to make your make :) -- philip `We put the 'K' in kwality!`	[reply]

How can I put this into a makefile? Why do you want to put it into a Makefile? A regular Makefile or a ExtUtils::MakeMaker generated Makefile? Hi carolw, guice was last here 9 years ago, and can't hear you.
