Subject: doesn't install cleanly
It says there's no Makefile.PL. Building things is another area I know very little about :( I'll have a play. cpan log is below: Running make for D/DA/DAVEBAIRD/Test-WWW-Mechanize-Maypole-0.1.tar.gz Fetching with LWP: ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/authors/id/D/DA/DAVEBAIRD/Test-WWW-Mechanize-Maypole-0.1.tar.gz CPAN: Digest::MD5 loaded ok Fetching with LWP: ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/authors/id/D/DA/DAVEBAIRD/CHECKSUMS Checksum for /root/.cpan/sources/authors/id/D/DA/DAVEBAIRD/Test-WWW-Mechanize-Maypole-0.1.tar.gz ok Scanning cache /root/.cpan/build for sizes Test-WWW-Mechanize-Maypole-0.1 Test-WWW-Mechanize-Maypole-0.1/t Test-WWW-Mechanize-Maypole-0.1/t/00.setup_beerdb.t Test-WWW-Mechanize-Maypole-0.1/t/01.beerdb.t Test-WWW-Mechanize-Maypole-0.1/t/templates Test-WWW-Mechanize-Maypole-0.1/t/templates/custom Test-WWW-Mechanize-Maypole-0.1/t/templates/custom/frontpage Test-WWW-Mechanize-Maypole-0.1/t/templates/custom/classdata Test-WWW-Mechanize-Maypole-0.1/t/templates/custom/view Test-WWW-Mechanize-Maypole-0.1/t/templates/custom/list Test-WWW-Mechanize-Maypole-0.1/t/00-load.t Test-WWW-Mechanize-Maypole-0.1/t/pod-coverage.t Test-WWW-Mechanize-Maypole-0.1/t/pod.t Test-WWW-Mechanize-Maypole-0.1/t/beerdb.db Test-WWW-Mechanize-Maypole-0.1/Changes Test-WWW-Mechanize-Maypole-0.1/MANIFEST Test-WWW-Mechanize-Maypole-0.1/META.yml Test-WWW-Mechanize-Maypole-0.1/lib Test-WWW-Mechanize-Maypole-0.1/lib/Test Test-WWW-Mechanize-Maypole-0.1/lib/Test/WWW Test-WWW-Mechanize-Maypole-0.1/lib/Test/WWW/Mechanize Test-WWW-Mechanize-Maypole-0.1/lib/Test/WWW/Mechanize/Maypole.pm Test-WWW-Mechanize-Maypole-0.1/ex Test-WWW-Mechanize-Maypole-0.1/ex/BeerDB.pm /bin/tar: Read 4608 bytes from - Test-WWW-Mechanize-Maypole-0.1/README Test-WWW-Mechanize-Maypole-0.1/Build.PL Package seems to come without Makefile.PL. (The test -f "/root/.cpan/build/Test-WWW-Mechanize-Maypole-0.1/Makefile.PL" returned false.) Writing one on our own (setting NAME to TestWWWMechanizeMaypole) CPAN.pm: Going to build D/DA/DAVEBAIRD/Test-WWW-Mechanize-Maypole-0.1.tar.gz Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Writing Makefile for TestWWWMechanizeMaypole /usr/bin/perl "-Iblib/arch" "-Iblib/lib" Build.PL Build cp lib/Test/WWW/Mechanize/Maypole.pm blib/lib/Test/WWW/Mechanize/Maypole.pm Manifying blib/man3/Test::WWW::Mechanize::Maypole.3pm Too early to specify a build action 'Build'.

OK, it installs if I do it all by hand. I found this useful reading: http://search.cpan.org/~kwilliams/Module-Build/lib/Module/Build/Compat.pm#SCENARIOS Cheers, Dave
