Hello, after playing around with the MakeMaker module for a while I still couldn't figure out if I can use it to install a whole application. Using MakeMaker for modules is clear and works for me so far but my application also contains a CGI-script, some textual documentation, some images and XSL-stylesheets located in an htdocs-directory and some binaries. All files should be copied to an installation directory and the administrator is requested to add 'Alias' and 'ScriptAlias' directives to it's Apache configuration...
>From what I found out so far the module-related things like manpage-generation, dependency checks, targets for cleaning and so on are exactly what I am looking for, but for a complete application some simple copying is required too. Is MakeMaker the wrong tool for this task ? Do I have to invent the wheel and write my own installation script ? Or can this be done somehow with a simple "perl Makefile.PL" ? regards...Andy
