IMHO if you touch the parts that alter what is installed (rather than what is built or how it is built) then yes. >And if so, what should be the >convention for packlists in directories not owned by perl, such as >/usr/share/doc/? There is one .packlist file for the whole module. It is written to "archlib" where you install other perl stuff for module. It can of course _list_ things in other directories. -- Nick Ing-Simmons http://www.ni-s.u-net.com/
