I am trying to package some compiled Java anonymous classes within a Perl package but found it to be impossible. I need them because my code uses Inline::Java.
The problem lies in the filenames: e.g. they contain $1 (e.g. ClassName$1.class). In the Makefile generated by perl Makefile.PL such file names are not quoted and thus they erroneously become "ClassName.class" because the special shell variables $1, $2, ... etc are substituted for empty strings. Is there any cure for that other than packaging all my classes as JARs? Quoting the file names containing a $ in the MANIFEST (e.g. 'ClassName$1.class', 'ClassName\$1.class', ClassName\$1.class) does not help here. Thank you for your help.
