Re: Distributing executable helper scripts with CPAN Distro

If you use EUMM, add this to the config chunk in Makefile.PL :

          'EXE_FILES' => [
                           'path/to/your_script'
                         ],
[download]

If you use MB, add this to the config chunk in Build.PL:

    script_files => [
        "path/to/your_script",
       ],
[download]

Wow, this was precisely the answer I was waiting for! I felt that Makefile.PL must have had some standard way of doing this but did not find any examples in the perl libs on my machine. I obviously did not do an extensive search however. If I could, I would vote several times on your node, although all the responses have been great!	[reply]
