Package: perl
Version: 5.8.7-10
Severity: important
The debain perl policy says that: "Modules should be installed to the
directories described above in Module Path, Section 2.3 as site (current),
programs to /usr/local/bin and manual pages under /usr/local/man."
However, the perl in debian installs modules under /usr/local/lib, and
binaries in /usr/bin:
Installing /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.7/Crossfire.pm
Installing /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.7/Crossfire/MapWidget.pm
Installing /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.7/Crossfire/Data.pm
Installing /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.7/Crossfire/Map.pm
Installing /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.7/Crossfire/Protocol.pm
Installing /usr/local/man/man3/Crossfire::Map.3pm
Installing /usr/local/man/man3/Crossfire::Data.3pm
Installing /usr/local/man/man3/Crossfire::Map.3
Installing /usr/local/man/man3/Crossfire::Protocol.3
Installing /usr/local/man/man3/Crossfire::MapWidget.3
Installing /usr/local/man/man3/Crossfire.3pm
Installing /usr/local/man/man3/Crossfire.3
Installing /usr/local/man/man3/Crossfire::Data.3
Installing /usr/local/man/man3/Crossfire::Protocol.3pm
Installing /usr/local/man/man3/Crossfire::MapWidget.3pm
Installing /usr/bin/cfmap-normalize
(Tested with the Crossfire perl module, the Makefile.PL in use was:
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
use Config;
my $mm = MM->new({
dist => {
COMPRESS => 'gzip -9v',
SUFFIX => '.gz',
},
NAME => "Crossfire",
VERSION_FROM => "Crossfire.pm",
EXE_FILES => ["bin/cfmap-normalize"],
});
$mm->flush;
So no paths were being overwritten.
