Greetings,
I have some good and bad news to report on
the File::Find versus ExtUtils::MakeMaker problems
that I've been recently reporting. The good news is
that if I force install a patched Find.pm into an older
installed perl_root:[lib.file] directory that I no longer
obtain manifest check errors about CPAN module
files missing from a kit. The bad news is that
"mmk install" is still not fixed. Here is a test run
with perl_root pointing to [EMAIL PROTECTED] kit with
the File::Find.pm modified as per Craig Berry's
recent post against Steffen Beyer's Date::Calc 5.3 from
CPAN:
$ mmk install
Installing perl_root:[lib.site_perl.date]calc.pm
Installing perl_root:[lib.site_perl.date]calc.pod
Installing perl_root:[lib.site_perl.date]calendar.pm
Installing perl_root:[lib.site_perl.date]calendar.pod
Installing perl_root:[lib.site_perl.date.calc]object.pm
Installing perl_root:[lib.site_perl.date.calc]object.pod
Installing perl_root:[lib.site_perl.date.calendar]profiles.pm
Installing perl_root:[lib.site_perl.date.calendar]profiles.pod
Installing perl_root:[lib.site_perl.date.calendar]year.pm
Installing perl_root:[lib.site_perl.date.calendar]year.pod
Writing perl_root:[lib.site_perl.VMS_AXP.auto.Date.Calc].packlist
Appending installation info to
perl_root:[lib.site_perl.VMS_AXP]perllocal.pod
But note that *.exe files are not installed in the above, and they are
present in [.blib...] as we can see thus:
$ dir [.blib...]*.exe
Directory USER:[PPRYMMER.DATE-CALC-5_3.BLIB.ARCH.AUTO.DATE.CALC]
PL_DATE__CALC.EXE;1
446 22-JUL-2003 13:48:07.78
Total of 1 file, 446 blocks.
There are several files down in that blib directory:
$ dir [.BLIB.ARCH.AUTO.DATE.CALC]
Directory USER:[PPRYMMER.DATE-CALC-5_3.BLIB.ARCH.AUTO.DATE.CALC]
.EXISTS;1 0 22-JUL-2003 13:47:34.91
CALC.BS;1 0 22-JUL-2003 13:48:09.09
CALC.OLB;1 2521 22-JUL-2003 13:48:06.63
CALC.OPT;1 1 22-JUL-2003 13:47:43.99
EXTRALIBS.LD;1 0 22-JUL-2003 13:48:06.98
PL_DATE__CALC.EXE;1
446 22-JUL-2003 13:48:07.78
Total of 6 files, 2968 blocks.
I see that Michael Scwhern has posted a MakeMaker patch to the p5p list.
Hopefully that fixes the install target for VMS (I've not yet had an
opportunity
to test it).
