Yeah. IIRC you need to put secondary modules like that into a ./lib
directory in order for them to be handled automatically. Oh, and make
sure it's in the MANIFEST too.

hth,

Knew this sounded familiar. If you want an examlpe of this, see the
Symbol::Approx::Sub 2.0 Beta that's available at 


That uses exactly this method.

I'm new to this makemaker thing ... but

doncha have to put the stuff you wanna install in a ./lib directory ?

ie ./lib/Apache/Session/Store/SharedMem/HelperClass.pm or whtever

apart from the base class which you just put in the root

ie move ./Apache/Session/Store/SharedMem.pm to ./

and make sure it has the full package name.

perl Makefile.pl and make manifgest again .. and that might work
