Upstream support for vendor dirs does not seem complete. I'm modified MakeMaker to include the appropriate install rule (which incidentally does not create .packlist files). Man pages for perl packages are installed to /usr/share/man/man[13] with the extensions .1 and .3. Modules installed by MakeMaker's vendor install use the same directories although with extensions .1p and .3pm to avoid potential conflicts. Regards, -- Brendan O'Dea [email protected] Compusol Pty.
