Bug #68147 for IO-Socket-INET6: Forced site

Thu May 12 10:26:04 2011 sberthelot [...] emisfr.com - Ticket created

Subject:	Forced site_perl dir in Makefile.PL
Date:	Thu, 12 May 2011 16:25:44 +0200
To:	bug-IO-Socket-INET6 [...] rt.cpan.org
From:	Stéphane BERTHELOT <sberthelot [...] emisfr.com>

I'm packaging perl modules for some internal distribution and saw IO::Socket::INET6 always in site_perl dir of our perl5 directory structure which leverages a warning from our package maker (based on Slackware TXZ) Is there any special reason for putting INSTALLDIRS to "site" forced in Makefile.PL ?

Please use the Module-Build-based Build.PL script instead of the ExtUtils::MakeMaker based script. The IO-Socket-INET6 repository only contains the Build.PL and I do not have a lot of control on the Makefile.PL which is generated. As a rule, always default to installing from the Build.PL if it's present. Can I close this bug? Regards, -- Shlomi Fish

Thanks Shlomi, I'm using cpan2tgz for Slackware, I'll have a look to patch it for using Build.PL Best regards, Stephane. Le 12/05/2011 20:06, Shlomi Fish via RT a écrit : Show quoted text
