(crazyinsomniac: multi-line makefile) Re^2 Installing Perlmonks modules on Win32

Before I saw your 2line makefile, I wrote my own, with manifest, so here it is:

# Makefile.PL
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
# See lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm for details of how to influence
# the contents of the Makefile that is written.
WriteMakefile(
    'NAME'            => 'PerlMonks',
##    'VERSION_FROM'    => 'PerlMonks.pm', # finds $VERSION
##    'ABSTRACT_FROM' => 'PerlMonks.pm',
    'AUTHOR'        => 'ZZamboni of PerlMonks.org fame',
    'DISTNAME'      => 'PerlMonksChat2',
    'EXE_FILES'     => ["getchat.old.pl", "getchat.pl", "getpage.pl", 
+"pmpager.pl" ],
,);

It was a three line Makefile.PL but like you I had to kill the VERSION_FROM bit as there is no $VERSION in it. I never use ABSRACT_FROM because it chokes on older perls. I should have included the EXE_FILES key (bad tachyon) as this gets nmake() to install these files in /perl/bin as .pl and .bat files As you also note I ignored the MANIFEST issue. When MakeMaker can't find a MANIFEST it just ignores the issue. Hat's off for doing it more thoroughly! `use ExtUtils::MakeMaker; WriteMakefile( 'NAME' => 'PerlMonks', 'EXE_FILES' => ["getchat.old.pl", "getchat.pl", "getpage.pl", "p +mpager.pl" ], );` [download] cheers tachyon s&&rsenoyhcatreve&&&s&n.+t&"$'$`$\"$\&"&ee&&y&srve&&d&&print	[reply] [d/l]
