I assume this is for the eventual CPAN distribution? Within Makefile.PL, you can specify INSTALLSCRIPT (and lots of other INSTALL*s) to control the locations where you want things installed - see 'perldoc ExtUtils::MakeMaker' for a full listing. But in overriding these defaults one should really ask the user where she/he wants to put things ...
I don't know whether Stas was talking about an eventual CPAN distribution; it would be surprising as I don't really see us distributing the site on CPAN (DocSet yes, but that's ok already).
Anyway, your tips about INSTALL* are just what I was wonderning about. Thanks a lot.
The DocSet will be distributed on CPAN and it already does the right thing with its executables.
bin/build is actually a one liner which I extended to handle the local non-standard location of the perl libs on apache.org, so feel free to adjust it any way you want. Documenting this issue would be just fine.
the same goes for bin/makeindex.
Per Einar, can you please send me the patch for the doc explaining how to adjust the convenience scripts on WinFU?
BTW, once you adjust these you don't have to do it again, since cvs won't wipe out your new files which are not under cvs control.
