Re: [Module-build-general] M::B novice seeks advice re updating Build.PL from v0.17 to v0.18_02

[Ken W. <ke...@ma...>]

Hi Andrew,

Sorry it's taken a while to get back to you, I've been ruminating on 
what a proper solution would look like.  I think I may have said 
previously that putting those files under pm_files would be the way to 
go, but I think I have to retract that statement. =(  Those files 
aren't actually .pm files, and calling them .pm files will mean that 
we'll scan them for packages and so on.

I think what you want to do is add an additional installation object 
type called 'eye', whose default installation directory is the same as 
the pm_files default.  I've tried to make the installation map 
extensible, but at this point I'm not sure there's enough API to 
actually do the extending.
