Hello again!
Perl's MakeMaker seems to be a rather arcane thing. I'm trying to figure out two things:
1) Perl is creating man files in the wrong place. My system expects them to be in /usr/local/share/man, but Perl is installing them in / usr/local/man. Currently I'm just moving them by hand every time I pull-make-install, which is less than optimal.
2) In a bit of what I'm sure is OS X strangeness, Perl is creating a / usr/local/System directory that contains one file: "System/Library/ Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level/perllocal.pod". This doesn't seem to be useful, and I'm deleting it without anything exploding (noticeably) since I doubt anything is looking for a System directory there. Is there a way to keep Perl from creating it in the first place?
Thanks for your time!
