Subject: PassGenWordFreq.dat location
I'm working on a Debian package of Crypt::PassGen. In Debian, we install into /usr/share/perl5 rather than /usr/local/share/perl5 if the file is in a package. The problem is, since PassGen.pm looks for PassGenWordFreq.dat in $Config{installsitelib}, it can't find it. I've hacked my packaged version to just look in /usr/share/perl5, since I know that's where it should be. Perhaps the code should look through the perl lib search path? I'm not really sure what the best fix is. It's not urgent for me... mine is fixed for my purposes. Thanks for the great work on the package, BTW.
