Subject: Ignore INSTALLHTMLDIR if INSTALLHTML[13]DIR are provided
INSTALLHTMLDIR is an obsolete parameter of EUMM which is not used anymore because it has been replaced by INSTALLHTML1DIR and INSTALLHTML3DIR. In 6.51_02, a warning is shown when it is given to Makefile.PL: 'INSTALLHTMLDIR' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name. This warning is useless when INSTALLHTML1DIR and INSTALLHTML3DIR are set. Setting both INSTALLHTMLDIR, INSTALLHTML1DIR and INSTALLHTML3DIR is easier to have a unique CPAN shell configuration in the case we are upgrading Perl environment, starting with an old EUMM (6.30).

In the latest released version of EU::MM, 6.98, I cannot locate the string 'INSTALLHTMLDIR' with that casing. The closest I come is: ##### http://search.cpan.org/grep?cpanid=BINGOS&release=ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.98&string=INSTALLHTMLDIR&i=1&n=1&C=0 ##### bundled/ExtUtils-Install/ExtUtils/Install.pm 988: if($Config{installhtmldir}) { 990: @INST_HTML = ($INST_HTMLDIR => $Config{installhtmldir}); ##### Does that mean that this RT is obsolete (and hence closable)? Thank you very much. Jim Keenan

HTML generation support was removed some time ago. Further to the discussion in https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/issues/111, I am extracting the points from the four HTML*DIR RT tickets onto the GH issue, then closing the tickets. The points disclosed in this ticket (must respect INSTALL* and PREFIX) are already covered by schwern's comment on a design for a doc plugin system. I am marking this ticket as resolved.
