Hi MM-Team, hi Michael,

I'm trying to make a nice CPAN-package called Goo (see http://thegoo.org) and
have serious problems using ExtUtils::MakeMaker (MM).

Now the problems may very well result from my inexperience with MM, as I never
needed anything more than just a  NAME, VERSION_FROM & AUTHOR Makefile.PL
OTOH, MM documentation - while (or because) extensive - is quite terse. All I
need to do is to hook up own perl code to the "make install" part of the
generated Makefile. I don't find anything in the docs.

Basically, there is this "skel" directory whose contents I'd need to copy to
/usr/lib/Goo and to create a link (or copy where links not available) from goo
to goo.pl. That's all. Simple.

But not with MM - and my knowledge. I thought I could abuse some of the INST*
variables to get make install do the copying. But instead it blew up by
copying the whole lib to skel and installed that under /usr/lib/Goo
