in reply to Is the blib structure always the same ?

G'day Rob,

I've tried that on Mac OS X. That file gets placed in blib/lib/PDL/Core. Note that's lib not Lib; although, Mac OS X ignores case in filenames so it will find it in Lib, liB and any other combination. However, when forced to choose, it does pick lib:

ken@ganymede: ~/.cpan/build/PDL-2.006-av7kS3 $ ls -l blib/[Ll][Ii][Bb]/PDL/[Cc]ore/pdlsimple.h -r--r--r-- 1 ken staff 1453 28 May 18:37 blib/lib/PDL/Core/pdlsimpl +e.h

(note it picked Core over core)

My perl and OS:

$ perl -v This is perl 5, version 18, subversion 0 (v5.18.0) built for darwin-th +read-multi-2level $ uname -a Darwin ganymede 11.4.2 Darwin Kernel Version 11.4.2: Thu Aug 23 16:25: +48 PDT 2012; root:xnu-1699.32.7~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

    Actually it's 'lib' for me, too - and I think that will be universal. (Typo on my part.)
    Once you get further down the tree from 'blib/lib', the case should be the same as specified in the source distro ... I hope ;-)

    If the case can vary, then that will be an issue on case-sensitive systems ... in which case we'll find out, soon enough.)

    Thanks Ken, AM.

    Cheers,
    Rob
