in reply to Makefile.PL PREFIX argument is not changing INSTALLMAN directories

Surely you can just edit those lines of the Makefile and then run make && make install?
Or am i missing something really obvious?

    For my own personal work, you are right, however, this is work for a major financial company whose clients are other major financial companies.

    It doesn't sound very good to any of these stodgy well-monied corporate-types to hear a phrase like "ok, now go into the makefile and search for INSTALLMAN... ok, now type in the following..."

    And on my end even personally, if things are supposed to work, then they are supposed to. Perl may be the duct tape of the Internet, but I dont feel like duct taping the duct tape.

      In that case;
      perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/u/tbrannon/perl/inetcrossftp/src INSTALLMAN1D +IR=/u/tbrannon/perl/inetcrossftp/src/man/man1 INSTALLMAN3DIR=/u/tbran +non/perl/inetcrossftp/src/man/man3
      Should do the trick.
