Even after reading the thread you cite, i still think the statement "it makes broken file layouts" is missleading.

It doesn't make the exact directory structure that you will ultimately have once the module is installed, it makes *a* directory structure designed to let you easily group all files related to the distribution "Foo::Bar" in one directory in your "development" directory, and files related to "Foo" in a seperate directory under your development directory -- so they don't get bundled together by mistake.

The generated Makefile.pl should "Do the Right Thing" and find your module when it comes time to install it.

You can allways install it into "./test_lib" to confirm that the installed directory structure is correct, and that the module works.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
