I'll suggest a topic for discussion (on list or at meeting). I'm
working on a biggish project that will have files in many different
places. I want the installer to be able to decide, at install time,
where these files will reside. For instance, you could say "install
--config=/usr/local/etc --out=/var/httpd/docs/", and the script would
actually be changed (or the config file, or whatever).
Realizing that I could write a little script to do this, is there some
module already written that will handle it? MakeMaker seems pretty close,
but I don't see how to customize it for what I want.
Any good ideas?
