Re: MakeMaker not installing any modules

I know that MakeMaker needs a Makefile.PL at every level (yes?)

No.

In a typical distribution of a C program, Makefiles themselves are usually generated at each level of the directory structure, though this is not strictly necessary.

Hm, okay. Was this a change from an earlier version of Perl? I seem to remember having to put a Makefile.PL at every level when I wrote an app in 5.005. And it works on my laptop, which tells me that this might not be the root of the problem. However, removing lib/Makefile.PL did work -- sort of. At least it's installing something. It's now doing this for every module: Installing /usr/local/apache/cgi-lib/policymaker/PolMaker-AutoQuote/RE +ADME Installing /usr/local/apache/cgi-lib/policymaker/PolMaker-AutoQuote/Ma +kefile.PL Installing /usr/local/apache/cgi-lib/policymaker/PolMaker-AutoQuote/pm +_to_blib Installing /usr/local/apache/cgi-lib/policymaker/PolMaker-AutoQuote/MA +NIFEST Installing /usr/local/apache/cgi-lib/policymaker/PolMaker-AutoQuote/Ma +kefile Installing /usr/local/apache/cgi-lib/policymaker/PolMaker-AutoQuote/Au +toQuote.pm Installing /usr/local/apache/cgi-lib/policymaker/PolMaker-AutoQuote/Ch +anges Installing /usr/local/apache/cgi-lib/policymaker/PolMaker-AutoQuote/t/ +02_test.t Installing /usr/local/apache/cgi-lib/policymaker/PolMaker-AutoQuote/t/ +01_load.t [download] In other words, it's installing the entire directory. What it should be installing instead is `/usr/local/apache/cgi-lib/policymaker/PolMaker/AutoQuote.pm` [download] ... so I'm clearly still going wrong somewhere. Ideas?	[reply] [d/l] [select]
