perlquestion LTjake NB: This has been cross-posted to my [http://use.perl.org/~LTjake/journal/26773|journal] As I do some work to my older modules, I'm converting their installation procedures to [cpan://Module::Build]</a> (mentioned [http://use.perl.org/~LTjake/journal/23912|here]). Whilst updating [cpan://CGI::Application::PhotoGallery], I ran in to a little bug ([http://use.perl.org/comments.pl?sid=28535&cid=43275|detailed by Phred]). The desired behavior is to have the default templates install in <code>@INC</code> so i can simply add <code>@INC</code> to the include paths and they'll be used as a fall-back mechanism. The way I achieved that with [cpan://ExtUtils::MakeMaker] was to put them directly in the <code>/lib/</code> directory in the distro and EU::MM will happily copy them over on <code>make install</code>. With Module::Build, i can take them out of the lib directory and put them in <code>/etc/</code> and use the <code>pm_files</code> option to make sure they're copied over: <code> pm_files => { 'etc/photos_index.tmpl' => 'lib/CGI/Application/PhotoGallery/photos_index.tmpl', 'etc/photos_single.tmpl' => 'lib/CGI/Application/PhotoGallery/photos_single.tmpl', # wish i could just do the templates... 'lib/CGI/Application/PhotoGallery.pm' => 'lib/CGI/Application/PhotoGallery.pm', 'lib/CGI/Application/PhotoGallery/GD.pm' => 'lib/CGI/Application/PhotoGallery/GD.pm', 'lib/CGI/Application/PhotoGallery/Magick.pm' => 'lib/CGI/Application/PhotoGallery/Magick.pm' } </code> This is fine and dandy, except that I'm auto-generating a Makefile.PL and Module::Build::Compat has no way to handle that construct. So, is there a better way to handle this scenario, or should i revert to stuffing my templates in the <code>/lib/</code> directory?
