the only kink here would be third-party CPAN modules for only mp2 - those are _required_ to use ModPerl::MM::WriteMakefile (which knows to install into Apache2/ if that's where mp2 was installed) instead of ExtUtils::MakeMaker::WriteMakefile. while I've tried to do my best here with a bunch of modules and perl.com articles, perhaps this point hasn't been clear enough to the masses and that should be addressed.
Crap, I don't think that Apache::TestMM knows about this.
You mean Apache::TestMB.
How do we make sure that those of us who use Module::Build can get our modules installed in the right place?
I know someone who's name is David who can easily write a patch for this.
David, it should really be:
ModPerl::MB
and Apache::TestMB should use it. Of course ModPerl::MB doesn't exist yet.
well, perhaps. I can see how it would really affect users who rely heavily
on the CPAN shell and perldoc, but I don't think it's as much of an issue
for people used to using wget and the online docs. so, in other words, it
probably affects the casual user more than the dedicated mod_perl
application developer. but that's just my suspicion. in either case,
something should be done to make things right.
Will it not also affect us who build mod_perl applications and want an easy-to-use installer to just work for people who download our software? Frankly, I don't think that it should be fine for just the dedicated mod_perl developer. This is one place where PHP is kicking the crap out of us.
us == perl, once PAUSE is fixed, and CPAN clients are adjusted, it will just work.
