# [PATCH] Install man3 manpages to $PREFIX/share/man/man3 even for site installs 3 messages from 2007-07-19 to 2007-07-20. Participants: martin f. krafft, Junio C Hamano, Randal L. Schwartz. Thread: https://gitlist.dev/t/9107 ## martin f. krafft, 2007-07-19 12:45 Subject: [PATCH] Install man3 manpages to $PREFIX/share/man/man3 even for site installs Message-ID: <11848491502417-git-send-email-madduck@madduck.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/11848491502417-git-send-email-madduck%40madduck.net ``` MakeMaker supports three installation modes: perl, site, and vendor. The first and third install manpages to $PREFIX/share/man, only site installs to $PREFIX/man. For consistency with the rest of git, which does not make the distinction and writes all manpages to $PREFIX/share/man, this change makes sure that perl does too, even when it's installed in site mode.

Could you care to enlighten Junio> us please? I'll have to research it. On *every single* major release of Perl, and even some of the minor ones, the rules for what Makefile.PL does have changed.
