Subject: | Problematic packaging, toplevel directory not as expected |
Tools like CPAN.pm cannot install the distribution automatically. It
goes like this:
...
x WWW-Finances-Bovespa2/
x WWW-Finances-Bovespa2/WWW/
x WWW-Finances-Bovespa2/WWW/Finances/Bovespa2/
x WWW-Finances-Bovespa2/WWW/Finances/Bovespa2/MANIFEST
x WWW-Finances-Bovespa2/WWW/Finances/Bovespa2/Makefile.PL
...
Package seems to come without Makefile.PL.
(The test -f
"/usr/local/src/CPAN/build/WWW-Finances-Bovespa2-q53Pq3/Makefile.PL"
returned false.)
Writing one on our own (setting NAME to WWW)
...
------------------------
Makefile.PL must be located directly under the toplevel directory
WWW-Finances-Bovespa2. Usually if you just use the "make dist" target
this should be done correctly.
