Hi,

Does anyone have a working example on how to add a tool written in perl to local conda channel?
What i have is the following:
Project: 

./bin
./lib
./t
meta.yaml
Build.PL

[download]
I build my tool by executing: 
perl Build.pl
./Build
./Build test
./Build install


Building mytool

all good here the tool gets installed and i can use it now i want to add it to conda channel so that others can just install it (why conda u ask? well, group politics! ) what i do there is the following: 
-- meta.yaml --

{% set name = "mytool" %}
{% set version = "0.01" %}

package:
  name: {{ name|lower }}
  version: {{ version }}

build:
  script: "perl Build.PL &&  perl Build && perl Build install --instal
+l_base $CONDA_PREFIX   --extra_compiler $CONDA_PREFIX/lib/perl5"
  number: 0

source:
  path: ./

requirements:
  host:
    - 'r-ape=5.7_1'
    - 'perl==5.32.1'
    - 'perl-file-path==2.16'
    - 'perl-getopt-long==2.52'
    - 'perl-file-slurp==9999.32'

    - 'perl-ipc-cmd==1.02'
    - 'r-base==4.3.1'
    - 'r-ggplot2==3.4.3'

  run:
    - 'r-ape=5.7_1'
    - 'perl==5.32.1'
    - 'perl-file-path==2.16'
    - 'perl-getopt-long==2.52'

    - 'perl-carp==1.38'

    Your program is named mytool.pl, but from Conda, you are trying to invoke mytool.

      Yes, this is an issue with the OP recipe, but the 
      No files or script found for output mytool

      issue is a separate one that I'm running into. It results in other errors during testing because no package is actually ever built.

    Any luck with this? I'm trying to migrate a recipe from bioconda to conda-forge and running into exactly the same issue as you describe with a Module::Build-based package. Haven't been able to figure it out so far.
