1. Why like that? (vs a more typical tree that you would see in e.g. /usr/local where arch is not toplevel) 2. Have you tried hacking some overrides into Config.pm? (and setting a -Ipath & -MConfig for that via PERL5OPT) 3. What settings are you using to get this far? What about INSTALL_BASE? I've found prefix & install-dirs (used in combination) to be a bit more predictable. But, I've pondered the idea that maybe just yanking the files straight out of blib would possibly be much simpler. Note: install-dirs "core" vs "site" will give you fits because it tends to get set in the (?:M|B)(?:uild|akefile)\.PL by the dist author. For further reading: http://scratchcomputing.com/svn/stowpan/trunk Currently, my stow tree has 163 .packlist files, 1562 *.pm files and looks like: $ cd /usr/local/stow/cpan/; find -maxdepth 3 -type d ./bin ./lib ./lib/perl ./lib/perl/5.8.8 ./lib/perl/5.8 ./man ./man/man1 ./man/man3 ./share ./share/perl ./share/perl/5.8.8 Most of the .ix, .so, and .bs files, and all of the '.packlist's are in ./lib/perl/5.8.8/auto though there's this one weirdball: $ tree -a /usr/local/stow/cpan/share/perl/5.8.8/auto /usr/local/stow/cpan/share/perl/5.8.8/auto `-- Compress `-- Zlib `-- autosplit.ix Disclaimer: this was not a 100% fresh install -- some of that was moved into here from existing files in /usr/local and there have been some snags in stowpan that I haven't had the patience to work-through yet. Also, this is built on top of a debian Config.pm -- most others are bound to be far less workable for stowpan. --Eric -- "Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge." -- Charles Darwin --------------------------------------------------- http://scratchcomputing.com ---------------------------------------------------
