"inc::" means "included in this distribution"; installing anything > in that namespace would mislead. If you want a module that can come *cough* Module::Install *cough* When you install it, it installs a small bootstrapper in site/inc/Module/ that copies itself and all the rest of the modules to My-Dist/inc when executed in "author mode" (My-Dist/inc/.author directory exists, iirc - it creates that directory if My-Dist/inc did not exist.) - I'm not saying I agree with it, just that that's what it does. It's an ugly hack, but makes the dwimmery easy. --Curtis > either from the distribution or from the installed stuff, give it a name > of its own and an explicit protocol. > > -zefram -- Curtis Jewell [email protected] %DCL-E-MEM-BAD, bad memory -VMS-F-PDGERS, pudding between the ears [I use PC-Alpine, which deliberately does not display colors and pictures in HTML mail]
