Subject: Strange Manpage Name
Hi there: Similar to RT#46326 (in Module::Extract::Use), the POD is installed as File.3pm rather than Test::File.3pm. I tested out a fix to make the module have a more standard format: mkdir -p lib/Test mv lib/File.pm lib/Test/File.pm Then I made the appropriate changes in Makefile.PL: 'lib/Test/File.pm' => '$(INST_LIBDIR)/File.pm', And things seem to build properly and go in the right place. Cheers, Jonathan

Hi Brian. Could you please explain why you rejected this ticket? running "man File" seems like a very strange way of getting to Test::File's man page..

Ryan: It's my understanding that this bug was rejected because it is instead fixed using the MANPODS or whatever variable of MakeMaker. See the new release of Module::Extract::Use to see this in action. I believe that it fixes all of our issues without any changes to be made in terms of the filesystem - lib/File.pm is still in tact, but the manpage is now generated appropriately. Thanks very much for the prompt fix, brian. I think these recent changes will be a great service to those using manpages for their Perl module distributions.

so in the package I am patching to change '$(INST_MAN3DIR)/File.$(MAN3EXT)' to '$(INST_MAN3DIR)/Test::File.$(MAN3EXT)' in Makefile.PL.

This should be fixed in 1.29. Thanks,
