If it was just about not removing the files, that'd be easy, I solved that part in 15 minutes on Gentoo. Alas, the files are not even installed by a standard Makefile as produced by ExtUtils:MM when using the vendor_install target, so it doesn't seem only Debian's problem but intended behavior---with ExtUtils::MM being a core module I presume even some sort of official Perl policy. I'd be interested in why this is so and if I can/should circumvent it.
That is really hard to read/disgest.
I think you're wrong, I used make install_vendor and I got ../lib/perl5/MSWin32-x86-multi-thread/auto/Foo/.packlist
Sure, I used install_base , and my config is
$ perl -V:installvendor.*
installvendorarch='';
installvendorbin='';
installvendorhtml1dir='';
installvendorhtml3dir='';
installvendorlib='';
installvendorman1dir='';
installvendorman3dir='';
installvendorscript='';
But that makes no difference
$ md tempjunk
$ cd tempjunk
$ h2xs -AX Foo
