There are a number of ways to do this. The most simple is:

I haven't been able to get this approach to work.
The file(s) from the new build_element *do* get copied into blib, so in
the above example httpd.conf gets copied to blib/conf/httpd.conf
but, when i do Build install it does not get installed.
I looked in _build/build_params and the install_path hash
does contain an entry for my new build element(s), but nothing gets
installed there when I run ./Build install (and ./Build fakesinstall
doesn't show the files either.)
Did you try the script as above? I tested it on M::B 0.2612 & 0.27x from
cvs. Can you post your Build.PL script?
Note that the entries in install_path must have the same name as
supplied to add_build_element() (not with the '_files' appendage).

Randy.
