neither or both depends what you mean I've moved templates to lib in the distribution, which gets moved to wherever the module is installed, so any automated software, etc can access it at a known place. This also means the templates are available if you install via cpan, don't remember to copy the templates out of the build directory, and the build directory gets 'cleaned'. I think this is the right thing to do. > If the former, why is it any easier to find than > ~root/.cpan/.../Maypole-.../templates ? If the latter, then that's about > FHS. You don't keep important stuff where it will be deleted by sensible sysadmins or software - .cpan/build/ is a cache and so liable to be wiped when space is low either automatically or by any passing sysadmin, if you install manually chances are that after installation you remove the source/build directory as otherwise it just sits there gathering dust.
