Also I'm interested in modules using Module::Build with such
a generation/transformation step in its Build.PL.
You're looking for File::ShareDir and the share_dir parameter, which was
added in the just-released Module::Build 0.36.
As Module::Build is a core module, it is quite a pain to up-
date in my distribution. I stopped after building packages
for ExtUtils::CBuilder and ExtUtils::ParseXS when a require-
ment for ExtUtils::Manifest 1.54 (with 1.51 already install-
ed) would have meant a rebuild of ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
There's just too much stuff that could break silently along
the way.
That stuff is all pretty vital and solid. Its unlikely to break anything by
upgrading.
Also none of the above depends on an updated MakeMaker, I don't know what
would have caused a MakeMaker rebuild.
