Need Help??

in thread how could use inc::Module::Install ever work? and other M::I questions

(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.

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.
