I'm using automake (and autoconf/libtool) to build a C library. The package includes an xs-based Perl module that links with the library.
So, after make and "make install" of the C library, the user can cd to "perl" and then run Makefile.PL && make to build the Perl module. Automake allows using a build directory different from where the package was untarred. I can get configure to write the Makefile.PL to the build directory, but the Perl module will not build from that location. Is there a way to support a separate build directory with MakeMaker? One problem is that I'm using a Makefile.PL.in which configure rewrites. So if someone does use a separate build directory then they will have to re-run ./configure to build the Perl module in the distribuiton directory. Am I being clear?
