What *exactly* did you try to do? «./Build --install_base foo» or «./Build install --install_base foo»? Or both? > Hm, looks really complicated for such a simple task :-/ I agree.

My current solution feels really like a hack: It has the issue that the install_destination may not be known at build time. The stages are rather independent. In theory it may even be installed to multiple locations. > Is there a simple way for text replacements like this in > Module::Build (or maybe a better way to do it)?

No there isn't (nor should there be IMO, it has enough cruft as it is). > I had a look at it, but I want a path like /usr/share/locale, and > it gives me something like /usr/share/perl/5.10.1/auto/<package-name>. Fair enough. Leon
