| Subject: | Extend search path for linkcheck script |
W3C::LogValidator::LinkChecker is not able to find the linkcheck script on my system, because my perl is setup to install binaries in a non-standard place.
I think your module should first search for linkcheck in the directories
$Config{scriptdirexp} and $Config{binexp}, as these directories are used by
perl to install scripts/binaries. See the attached patch.
Regards,
Slaven
