| Subject: | sample_mime_lite.pl installed to @INC |
Due to the interaction of 2 historical things:
1. ".pl" used to mean "Perl Library" which was loaded explicitly by name
2. ExtUtils::MakeMaker used to prefer a "flat" topology where top level entries were pulled into @INC by name conjugation
"sample_mime_lite.pl"
Appears at:
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.24.1/Mail/sample_mime_lite.pl
Beside its siblings:
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.24.1/Mail/DKIM/MessageParser.pm
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.24.1/Mail/DKIM.pm
Convention suggests an "examples" directory for this file to live in, which avoids accidental installation into @INC
