Subject: please use $(MAN3EXT) instead of 3 in Makefile.PL
Hi, on some systems (Debian, for example) manpage sections other than 3 are used. so when installing the man page please use the $(MAN3EXT) makefile variable instead of hard coding .3. here is a patch to fix this: --- a/Makefile.PL +++ b/Makefile.PL @@ -26,7 +26,7 @@ }, 'MAN3PODS' => { - 'lib/File.pm' => '$(INST_MAN3DIR)/Test::File.3', + 'lib/File.pm' => '$(INST_MAN3DIR)/Test::File.$(MAN3EXT)', }, clean => { FILES => q|Test-File-* test_files| },

I shouldn't make the man pages anyway, so I'll just get rid of the whole thing.

It looks like it didn't work. As another member of the the Debian Perl Group pointed out: TODO: it's nice that upstream doesn't provide a "wrong" extension for the manpage anymore but now we end up with /usr/share/man/man3/File.3pm.gz instead of /usr/share/man/man3/Test::File.3pm.gz ...

Hi: The bug following from the closure of the previous bug is noted in RT#46327. There is also a fix. I created a new bug of using this one, because I think it is more appropriately in its own report. https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=46327 The first bug (namely, man pages having the incorrect extension) was fixed by removal of that line.

Is this still a problem with the latest version of Test::File?

Seeing no further comment on this, I'm going to assume it's been fixed, one way or the other. Feel free to reopen the ticket if not.
