Re: [Module::Build] codebase? paths in .tar.gz?

Argh...

You're right, there is no directory structure in the file you sent. I 
didn't believe it, so I downloaded Module-CoreList and did a perl 
Build.PL, perl Build, perl Build dist, and got the same results... a tar 
dist with a flat directory structure. I'm confused.

There was a discussion on the list early November, "Help: Module::Build 
V 0.21 under WinXP" where this same problem came up. I traced through 
it. M::B was working. A::T was was working. Off list talking with Ron, 
we found the problem to be the tar program he was using; I sent him my 
working version, and everything worked. Now same circumstances, and the 
solution has apparently changed. The only thing different is the 
computer I'm using right now has perl 5.8, whereas I did my testing 
before on a system with 5.6, but that shouldn't make a difference.

I am convinced that the problem is not in M::B, nothing there has 
changed since I looked into it before...

Unfortunately, I won't be able to investigate this further until 
tomorrow :-(.

Regards,
Randy.
