ehdonhon has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have a sandbox with a directory structure set up like this (names have been changed to protect the guilty):

  MyModule.pm
  Makefile.PL
  bin/myscript.pl
  template/mytemplate1
  template/mytemplate2

This is what I would like ExtUtils::MakeMaker to do for me:

  1. Install MyModule into /usr/local/myperllib/
  2. Install myscript.pl in /usr/local/bin/
  3. Install template/* into /usr/local/templates

Presently, my Makefile.PL looks like this:

use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
WriteMakefile(
  'NAME'   => 'MyModule'
  'VERSION_FROM' => 'MyModule.pm'
  'PREREQ_PM' => {},
  'LIB'  => '/usr/local/myperllib',
  'INSTALLSCRIPT' => '/usr/local/bin',
  'EXE_FILES'  => ['bin/myscript.pl'],
);

This will build a makefile that achieves requirements #1, and #2. Any thoughts on how to achieve #3??

Thanks.
