Hi, folks

Accordingly with the documentation of MakeMaker:

  MAN1PODS

    Hashref of pod-containing files. MakeMaker will default this to all
    EXE_FILES files that include POD directives. The files listed here
    will be converted to man pages and installed as was requested at
    Configure time.

I found out this documentation quite difficult to understand.
The code I got working was:

        MAN1PODS            => {
                'src/jspell.pod'      => 'blib/man1/jspell.1',
                'src/jspellaff.pod'   => 'blib/man1/jspellaff.1',
                'src/jbuild.pod'      => 'blib/man1/jbuild.1',
                'scripts/jspell-dict' => 'blib/man1/jspell-dict.1',
        },

and I think this is the correct usage.

My question is:
 - shouldn't it be just
        MAN1PODS            => {
                'src/jspell.pod'      => 'jspell.1',
                'src/jspellaff.pod'   => 'jspellaff.1',
                'src/jbuild.pod'      => 'jbuild.1',
                'scripts/jspell-dict' => 'jspell-dict.1',
        },
   as we know they are man1pods, and thus should be placed on blib/man1?

 - and, shouldn't we have an example on the documentation? I discovered
   the correct way after five tries :)

Cheers
ambs
