Ah right, like 'perl Makefile.PL CGI_DIR=...'? If you want to copy 'a file' to 'somewhere' then I'm afraid there is no easy way to do this with MakeMaker. I investigated that when I wanted to install some data files to /usr/share/ as part of an application. In the end I had to hack the generated Makefile text by hand, adding new targets and stuff; it wasn't pretty but it works. > When you say "Just print a warning message," is there a standard > way to do this as part of (or upon completion of) 'make install'? Hmm, not AFAIK. Again I think you will have to alter the generated Makefile textually, unless someone on this list can point out an official way. -- Ed Avis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
