I'm installing pure-perl (i.e. don't have to be built) modules using in:
$(libexecdir)/perl
and I've got libexecdir defaulting to
libexecdir='${exec_prefix}/lib/${PACKAGE}'.
I like this because it keeps my package together in once place, but it means
that my
modules are not in the standard @INC. Even that is not a big problem because
programs I
install in $PATH can be set at configure time to add libexecdir/perl to @INC.
Still, that
means "perldoc Foo" to read docs in a module I'm installing fails.
But, is there a better or more common way to install my Perl modules into the
system @INC
using Automake/autoconf? There still should be a way to override where they
are installed
with a configure switch.
Oh, somewhat related and a C question:
If I install a helper program in libexecdir (which is not in the $PATH), what
is the best
way to portably add that path in my C program (for either a popen() or
fork/exec to run the
program)?
Thanks very much,
