[Module-build-general] Question about Defaults ...

[Norbert G. <no...@MP...>]

Dear Module::Build designers,

recently I have read the article on Perl.com about your module
Module::Build.  I was very fascinated by your idea to handle the
complete installation procedure of modules under the control of Perl.
This is a very fine module, well done :-))

Since I think this is a very good approach, I started to look into
your module if I could convert to your way of installing.
Unfortunately I found out that you are expecting all module files (.pm
or .xs) sitting in the directory "lib/".  But this directory structure
is not the default structure when you are starting your development by
using "h2xs".

My question is, what is the reason for this requirement ?  And is
there a possibility to switch off this behavior ?  Of course, I know
how to accomplish your requirement :-).  But this would mean that I
have to fiddle about the directory structure after running the initial
h2xs.

Cheers,

Norbert
