Re: packlists and Module::Build

What version of Module::Build are you using? Recent version are supposed to support packlists. c.f the 0.2805 Changes file:

0.27_10  Tue Mar 28 22:50:50 CST 2006

 - Added the create_packlist property, default true, which controls
   whether packlist files will be written during installation.  This
   was already part of Module::Build 0.2609, but for some reason we've
   forgotten it in the 0.27_xx series.  [Spotted by Steve Kirkup]

0.2609  Wed Mar 16 22:18:35 CST 2005

 - We now write a .packlist file upon installation, in the same place
   that ExtUtils::MakeMaker does. [Johnny Lam]

Much appreciated! I was indeed running a version of Module::Build older than 0.26, and the problem is now sorted. -- Oh Lord, won’t you burn me a Knoppix CD ?
