Doesn't that still need some @INC manipulation to work? Perl 6 - links to (nearly) everything that is Perl 6.	[reply]

By default, Perl includes "." in @INC, so no.	[reply]

(perl Makefile.PL && make dist) will create inc/Module/Install.pm and include it in the tarball. two responses: perl Makefile.PL failed. That what I stated in the original post of this thread. I dont see how a `use` for something in a directory which doesnt exist could work. should my Makefile.PL look any different? 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. -- Terence Parr, "Enforcing Strict Model View Separation in Template Engines"	[reply] [d/l]

I thought you meant from the installer's perspective, not the author's. The author needs to install Module-Install which includes inc::Module::Install. When the author runs `perl Makefile.PL`, it will use the system's inc::Module::Install, and it will copy inc/Module/Install.pm locally. The local copy will be included in the distribution when the author runs `make dist`. This differs from ExtUtils::MakeMaker where both the author and the installer need to have ExtUtils::MakeMaker installed.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
