Hello, I emailed the author of Module::Install three days ago and have not heard back. So, I am writing here instead.

how could use inc::Module::Install ever work?

I followed the SYNOPSIS for Module::Install in the Makefile.PL for my project.

However because this Makefile.PL has the (recommended) line: use inc::Module::Install when I run perl Makefile.PL I get: 

<metaperl@andLinux:~/prg/dbix-cookbook> perl Makefile.PL 
Can't locate inc/Module/Install.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /
+usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5
+ /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/
+lib/site_perl .) at Makefile.PL line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Makefile.PL line 1.
<metaperl@andLinux:~/prg/dbix-cookbook>

and that does not surprise me (grin). And the related FAQ entries do not shine any light on my situation.

My goal is to release this to CPAN so that perl -MCPAN -e 'install DBIx::Cookbook' does not choke when running perl Makefile.PL



The mantra of every experienced web application developer is the same: thou shalt separate business logic from display. Ironically, almost all template engines allow violation of this separation principle, which is the very impetus for HTML template engine development.
