Hi, As a novice to perl programming I am stuck to a problem for which I seek your help. I have written a module in perl, and I want to make it installable module. As such, I ran the following commands: h2xs -n Local::Plantgenome perl Makefile.PL make dist I want this module to be installed in a particular location (/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Bio/Tools/), on the other systems. Thus I have tried, while running perl Makefile.PL LIB=/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Bio/Tools
But the module is being installed in "/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Bio/Tools/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Local/" Even I have tried with the key-value parameter to WriteMakefile( 'INSTALLDIRS' => '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Bio/Tools', 'NAME => 'Local::Plantgenome', ... But as I try to intall this, I am ending up with the following error as make: *** No rule to make target `pure_/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Bio/Tools_install', needed by `pure_install'. Stop. Could you please suggest me how to write the Makefile.PL so that I can install it in the prefered location. Is there any mailling archive so that I can get further help. Hopping to hear from you.
