[Module-build-general] Warning on shebang/extending M::B

[Ken Y. C. <kc...@lo...>]

I've been trying to convert a distribution of mine over to use
Module::Build, and I've got a couple of questions

1.  This is mostly just annoying and isn't really stopping anything,
    but, after I run "perl Build.PL," I get this warning:

    * WARNING: Configuration was initially created with '/usr/bin/perl',
      but we are now using '/usr/local/bin/perl'.

    Both perl's are the same, so it's not a version problem, but see:

    $ which perl
    /usr/bin/perl

    $ perl -MConfig -e 'print "$Config::Config{startperl}\n"'
    #!/usr/local/bin/perl

    And the latter is what Module::Build::Base::print_build_script uses.
    Is there a way to fix this so that it uses whatever is the path for
    the binary used to execute "Build.PL" instead?

2.  The main reason I want to move away from MakeMaker is because I have
    a number of files (HTML templates, configuration files, stylesheet)
    that I want to install into directories that the user defines as
    arguments to Build.PL.  In MM, I'd create extra targets for the
    "make install," but with Module::Build the docs say I ought to be
    able to just add some code to "ACTION_install" to get this to
    happen, but I'm not having any luck.  Even something simple like
    this doesn't work:

    my $builder           =  Module::Build->subclass(
        class             => 'My::Builder',
        code              => q[
            sub ACTION_install {
                my $self = shift;
                print "Yo!\n";
            }
        ]
    )->new(
        module_name       => 'Bio::GMOD::CMap',
        dist_author       => 'Ken Y. Clark <kc...@cs...>',
        dist_name         => 'cmap',
        dist_version_from => 'lib/Bio/GMOD/CMap.pm',
        license           => 'gpl',
    );
    $builder->create_build_script;

    When I run "./Build fakeinstall" (because I don't want to actually
    install on this machine), I don't see "Yo" but I do see lots of
    "Installing..." statements.  I've scoured the docs, looked at the
    Cookbook, read the perl.com article, and searched the list archives,
    but I don't really see how I can add some actions like this.  I'd
    really appreciate a point to the right docs if they exist, or some
    help in making them if they don't.

Also, FWIW, some of the pmtools complain about
Module::Build::Cookbook, e.g.:

    $ pmpath Module::Build::Cookbook
    /usr/local/bin/pmpath: Module/Build/Cookbook.pm did not return a true value
