first, sorry if this isn't the right forum for this question.
I have a boat-load of modules living in a tree. A couple of those are XSUBs and have their own Makefile.PL. There's a top-level Makefile.PL that lists these directories in 'DIR'. Other than that, this top-level make is straight out of h2xs.
If I say perl Makefile.PL; make; make install in the subdirs with the XSUBs, everything is copasetic, and things get properly installed.
When I say perl Makefile.PL at the top level, the Makefiles get made in the subdirs. When I say 'make', the XSUBs in the subdirs get compiled. When I say 'make install', things get installed, except for the XSUBs. Checking the Makefiles in the subdirs resulting from the top-level 'perl Makefile.PL', there's a comment there that says:
# --- MakeMaker install section skipped.
How can I get these sections to not be skipped? Why would 'DIR' make the Makefiles, but not provide a mechanism to install?
Perl 5.6.0 and 5.6.1, MakeMaker 5.45 Tried it with 5.96_01 just for laughs, with same results.
Thanks! Ilya
