Subject: M::B has install_share, now we need delete_share behavior so don’t end up w/ stale files in your share.
As of rt 92084 Makefile.PL can: use ExtUtils::MakeMaker; use File::ShareDir::Install; delete_share '.'; # delete it all first install_share 'share'; # install the current version second It could either implement its own or use File::ShareDir::Install.

Reusing File::ShareDir::Install is not an option, most the complication in it is related to building it into MakeMaker, not the copying/deletion itself. That would be silly. Reimplementing the same logic should be easy, but File::ShareDir::Install isn't doing this correctly itself right now. See my latest reply on #92084 Leon
