Subject: INSTALLMAN?DIR and INST_MAN?DIR not recognized
I'm trying to suppress installation of man pages for an internal-use-only module, and it would seem that none of the INST*MAN*DIR options work: alester@flr4[~/play]$ cat makemaker.pl #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use ExtUtils::MakeMaker; print "Using ExtUtils::MakeMaker $ExtUtils::MakeMaker::VERSION\n"; &WriteMakefile( NAME => 'Foo', INST_MAN1DIR => 'none', INST_MAN3DIR => 'none', INSTALLMAN1DIR => 'none', INSTALLMAN3DIR => 'none', ); alester@flr4[~/play]$ perl makemaker.pl Using ExtUtils::MakeMaker 5.90_01 'INSTALLMAN1DIR' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name. 'INSTALLMAN3DIR' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name. 'INST_MAN1DIR' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name. 'INST_MAN3DIR' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name. Writing Makefile for Foo

Latest snapshot on www.makemaker.org should fix this. Let me know.

Seems to have two sets of probs. First, the make test squawks plenty, and then running Makefile.PL still doens't grok INST_MAN?DIR alester@flr4[/tmp/ExtUtils-MakeMaker]$ make test PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/local/bin/perl "-I/tmp/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/lib" "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t t/00setup_dummy.......ok t/basic...............ok t/Command.............ok t/hints...............ok t/INST................ok 1/25Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at /tmp/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/blib/lib/ExtUtils/MM_Unix.pm line 3189.

Looks like you're missing some Config values. Could you run a "perl Makefile.PL verbose verbose PREFIX=something"? Show quoted text

Fixed, try the snapshot. Though setting INST_MAN1DIR='none' is not how you tell it not to install man pages. -- Michael G.

I understand that. I just tried it because the INSTALLMAN?DIR stuff didn't work, either. I just happened to find that NONE of them worked. :-)
