Though be warned File::ShareDir only works for architecture independent files.... Sadly some modules miss this distinction. I'm not sure if there are modules to help with this case. Um, like who?	[reply]

I've run into the problem somewhere else but I forget where (probably just installed the needed external dependency). I guess I'm just weird for keeping 4 architectures in the same Perl tree, and I might try to fork and fix sometime in the future. Warning applies for anything that stores a binary or library or binary data (endianness) using the File::ShareDir pattern. Just bringing it up so people think about what they put where.	[reply] [d/l]

You must report this at https://rt.cpan.org/Dist/Display.html?Name=Alien-Tidyp. The maintainers will not see it here.	[reply]

I see the issue, but that is not exactly a ShareDir proble. ShareDir gets you to the base directory, after that, its all up to you. Its definitely in Alien::Base domain. I think Alien::wxWidgets handles it in a reasonable way, though it necessitates Wx::Perl::Packager, you can't get by with File::ShareDir::PAR 'package' => 'Alien::wxWidgets::Config::msw_2_9_0_uni_gcc_3_4', 'package' => 'Alien::wxWidgets::Config::msw_2_8_10_uni_gcc_3_4', 'package' => 'Alien::wxWidgets::Config::msw_2_8_12_uni_gcc_3_4', C:\perl\site\5.14.1\lib\Alien\wxWidgets \|-- Config \| `-- msw_2_8_12_uni_gcc_3_4.pm \|-- Utility.pm `-- msw_2_8_12_uni_gcc_3_4 \|-- include \| `-- wx SNIP \| `-- zstream.h `-- lib \|-- build.cfg \|-- libwxbase28u.a SNIP `-- wxmsw28u_xrc_gcc_custom.dll 29 directories, 801 files [download] Does it need to be a module?
