MakeMaker configured to put scripts in /usr/bin/
If I have Makefile.PL as follows:
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
WriteMakefile(
NAME => 'MyLib',
EXE_FILES => ['MyProg']
);
Then "perl Makefile.PL; make; make install" puts MyProg in /usr/bin/
I was expecting it to be put in /usr/local/bin.
It seems that the debian perl package has ExtUtils::MakeMaker built with the
default value of INSTALLSCRIPT set to /usr/bin/ instead of /usr/local/bin/
Since MyProg is not part of the debian distribution (and anything built this
way would not be) it seems to me the default for INSTALLSCRIPT should be
/usr/local/bin/
Is this something I should file as a bug/feature-request, or is it more likely
that I am completely misunderstanding things?
P.S. Is there a better list for me to be posting this to?
