Greets monks, I can't seem to figure out File::ShareDir::Install. Here is what I did..
1-created my module and put all my assets (.po files) in share/ dir.
2- In the MakeFile 
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
use File::ShareDir::Install;

    install_share 'share';
    install_share dist => 'share';
    ##also tried this:
    install_share module => 'My::Module', 'share';

[download]
3- In the module file: 
use File::ShareDir ':ALL';
File::ShareDir::dist_file('My-Distribution', 'file.po');
#and
File::ShareDir::dist_file('My-Distribution', 'share/file.po');
#and later tried this
File::ShareDir::module_file("My::Module","file.po");

[download]
all cases failed to locate the file.
4- Also I had some tests cases but it seems that the files will not be available before make install, so I skipped this for now.
thanks
