| Subject: | README.pod installed to lib/ targets |
Unfortunately, EUMM is aweful, and due to the history where it was designed to be a "flat file" layout, where
Dist-Foo/Foo.pm
Dist-Foo/Foo.pod
Dist-Foo/Makefile.PL
Things in "/" called "README.pod" will get installed as lib/Dist/README.pod
The workarounds to avoid this are:
- No including a README.pod file
- Using an INSTALL.SKIP file like this: https://metacpan.org/source/KENTNL/CPAN-Distribution-ReleaseHistory-0.002004/INSTALL.SKIP which includes a series of regex that ExtUtils::Install uses when filtering the copy from "blib/" to system.
( This mechanism appears not to work at first because EUMM still copies README.pod to blib/ when you run "make", but it never makes it into the install target )
