MakeMaker problem

G

Hi, I want to put my executables of EXE_FILES into /usr/sbin with:

INSTALLSITEDIR => '/usr/sbin'

but the MakeMaker tells me:

'INSTALLSITEBIN' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name.

That word is reported on the CPAN site. This happens in both 5.50 and
latest version.

I don't know that word. However, maybe, just maybe TMTOWTDI. Can you set
INST_SCRIPT to your bin directory?

from the docs for makemaker:

..............

EXE_FILES

Ref to array of executable files. The files will be copied to the
INST_SCRIPT directory. Make realclean will delete them from there again.

I tried:

EXE_FILES = ['exec.pl'];

INST_SCRIPT = '/usr/sbin';

but it doesn't work.

instead of 'exec.pl' use something in the source tree the makefile uses, like

'/lib/dir/exec.pl'
