Sadly enough, I didn't pick /Library/MySQL as the install directory. It was chosen for me by Aaron Faby's "Complete MySQL" binary installer. Prior to that install, I used Tenon Intersystems's "iTools" on another server and it installed it in a completely different place, something like /Library/WebServer/tenon/MySQL. Just thought I'd share.

Why don't they make a "Perl modules in a box" installer?

otoh, my guess is that that not installing things in their "customary" places would (might likely) cause a bunch of grief later on... other tools might expect things to be in certain places, and would need to be tweaked to look in other places.

OS 9 was different... there was no concept of paths to the (end user anyway). you clicked on things and they worked... for that matter, you could only click on things.

OS X is a lot more picky about things being where it wants them to be. I have heard of many applications that stop working or start doing voodoo if moved from their default locations.
