Subject: String::MFN doesn't install on non-*nix systems
Some "/usr/local" stuff is hardcoded in Makefile.PL, though nothing actually makes String::MFN work only on *nix-es - mfn() is a pretty useful function for forming sane and readable filenames at the same time for any OS! Please, fix the issue, so people could use String::MFN on Windows systems as well!

The PREFIX line could have safely been edited to something local-safe, but it didn't really need to be there at all; it was inherited when I stole the majority of Makefile.PL from ingyware some years ago. In any case, please try the attached revision and let me know if it works for you.

Actually, I thought it was a legacy of some older makefiles ;). Thanks a lot, it works awesome now on my Windows system as well! Bug resolved :)! On Чтв. Июн. 14 23:01:54 2007, MDXI wrote: Show quoted text

Not quite resolved, because simply removing the PREFIX makes the accompanying mfn(1p) script uninstallable on Unix systems. Attached is a new tarball which sets a PREFIX, but sets it to Perl's existing SITEPREFIX instead of a hardcoded value. I would appreciate it if you could attempt to install this version and let me know if it works for you. Thanks.
