ExtUtils::MakeMaker installation question patrick.leboutillier@gmail.com 01-15-2005

 Hi all,

Is there a way, using ExtUtils::MakeMaker, to install file anywhere on
the file system?

I have written this module that comes with a script. The script is
installed properly in /usr/bin when I specify it in the EXE_FILES
section. But this script can also be used as a daemon/service.

What I would like to do is install the service script in
/etc/init.d/<my_script>.
I would also like to create a configuration directory
(/etc/<my_script>/conf.d) and place a sample config file in there.
Anyone know if this can be dono?

Thanks,

Patrick LeBoutillier

You can add arbitrary makefile rules in the postamble section of your
Makefile.PL:

sub MY::postamble {
if ($^O eq 'linux') { # as the examples above look OS-dependent
<<'EOF';
install::
        cp something /etc/init.d
EOF
} else {
"";
}
}

Slaven
