ExtUtils::ModuleMaker and the scripts directory

dragonchild has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I took the script from 159262 and used it, with some great success. (Thank you!) However, I'm a little perplexed by something that wasn't addressed in the ExtUtils::ModuleMaker docs.

There is a scripts directory that is created. Cool! My first use for this was to create a distribution that deals with five scripts and two modules. But, when I do a test install of this distribution, the modules are installed, but the scripts aren't. Can someone shed some light on this? (I'm a novice when it comes to creating distributions ...)

The idea is a little like C++ templates, except not quite so brain-meltingly complicated. -- TheDamian, Exegesis 6

Do you have something like: `EXE_FILES => [<script/*>],` [download] in the parameters to WriteMakefile in the Makefile.PL file? As far as I recall, that should be there to install executables (i.e. script files). Liz	[reply] [d/l]
