Subject: Installation of WWW::Search::ISBNDB
This installation is broken in the sense that it uses a completely non-standard procedure (perl Build.PL). Please use the standard way using a Makefile.PL. -- Christian Kirsch Heise Zeitschriften Verlag * iX-Magazin Tel +49-511-5352-590 Fax +49-30-78702289 KEINE ANNAHME VON DOC-DATEIEN * NO DOC FILES, PLEASE

Christian, I'm sorry if you disagree with the standards and models that I use. I develop for the community, not to the whims of single users. Also, I think you may be confused about the wide usage and standardization of Module::Build. I can provide links and articles as well as other popular modules that use Module::Build for the installation mechanics, if you wish. If you will note that nearly every cpan system recognizes Module::Build as a legitimate and valid build system and in some cases the default because its pure perl nature. http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2003/02/12/module1.html If you still refuse to accept the validity of Module::Build, here is a list of work around solutions the current situation. I'm sure you've already encountered these at some point. http://search.cpan.org/~kwilliams/Module-Build/lib/Module/Build/ Cookbook.pm#Making_a_CPAN.pm-compatible_distribution Thank you for your time, in light of this I will consider creating a dummy Makefile.PL and include it in my distributions from this point on.

This case has been resolved as of release 0.2 of WWW::Search::ISBNDB. The changes include adding Makefile.PL (Module::Build::Compat). Thanks everyone! # Nick Gerakines
