There should be warnings about 'shadowing' in the make install messages and what to do about it. > 2) I see that MM doesn't have any logic to decide which files go where once > they are in blib.

If one piece of the distribution is arch specific, the whole thing is. MakeMaker can't determine what parts are arch independent and what parts are not. That logic is in ExtUtils::Install. > Is there a way to tell that files from a sub-dir should go to > INSTALLSITELIB and not where the rest of the files go to? I couldn't find a > way to do that. It's probably going very tricky to do. Maybe you can implement this idea and then stick an INSTALLDIRS=share in the Apache-Test Makefile.PL. http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=4322 > Pushing UNINST=1 for the user is probably an unwise thing to do.
