Subject: Makefile.PL doesn't install Jifty::Plugin::Login.
After installing Jifty from CPAN, it looks like several plugins, including Jifty::Plugin::Login are not being correctly copied into the blib during make install: # find blib/ | grep Plugin blib/lib/Jifty/Plugin blib/lib/Jifty/Plugin/ClassLoader.pm blib/lib/Jifty/Plugin.pm blib/lib/Jifty/Script/Plugin.pm blib/man3/Jifty::Plugin::ClassLoader.3 blib/man3/Jifty::Plugin.3 blib/man3/Jifty::Script::Plugin.3

Unfortunate, then, that CPAN catalogs Jifty::Plugin::Login as a part of the distro. The effect is that from CPAN.pm, if you type: install Jifty::Plugin::Login ... it installs the Jifty distro, and tells you that your request was completed. But, alas, when you attempt to run 'jifty server', you get this: ERROR - Can't locate Jifty/Plugin/Login.pm in @INC If this isn't a bug, then there appears to be no documented way to actually install Login.pm.

That's a bug in the CPAN indexer then. it's not in lib/

While I disagree (CPAN distros are not required to keep their modules in lib/), that really isn't the point. The core issue from this end-user's perspective is that somebody took the time to write that cool code so you really ought to give people a way to install it. Or, if a way already exists, you might benefit from telling users what it is. If you really don't want those modules installing by default, then a line or two explaining the situation in the README or other install docs would be great. Thanks, -Dan

Actually, the login plugin is VERY not ready for primetime. We've been having a long discussion on IRC and the list about moving it and other plugins into the core. We'll get there, but installing it by default right now isn't right.
