Running ActiveState Perl 5.8.8 on a Windows XP SP2 machine. ModuleMaker is specifying the following attributes in the Makefile: INSTALLSCRIPT = C:\Perl\bin ... INSTALLSITESCRIPT = $(INSTALLSCRIPT) The documentation infers that INSTALLSITESCRIPT should specify the Perl\site\bin directory when INSTALLDIRS=site. Why is MakeMaker setting this to Perl\bin? Thanks, Paul

This is the current behavior when there's no installsitescript set in your perl Config, yes. (Just confirming because both ModuleMaker and ActiveState change all sorts of things about MakeMaker). Show quoted text

I guess you're referring to the explanation of how prefixification works. You're right, it probably should try to prefixify INSTALLSITESCRIPT and INSTALLSITEBIN. It currently doesn't, probably because they didn't exist when that code was written. Everything just went into INSTALLSCRIPT.

Since this ticket was filed, EUMM has moved to making a DESTINSTALLSITESCRIPT which is correctly prefixed. Marking as resolved.
