Author Module::Install and makefile.pl
Asier

Hi everoby;

I have written a Makefile, with Module::Install.
But when i try to use
it in "target" machines, i get the following problem;

perl Makefile.pl -> works fine
make -> fails with the following output

make: *** No rule to make target `Makefile.PL', needed by `Makefile'.
Stop.

I do not know what i am doing wrong.

Makefile.pl is as follows;
##############BEGIN###############
use inc::Module::Install;

name("Prueba-Monitor-1.00");
version_from("/root/proyecto_itis/entregar/monitor.pm");
abstract("El monitor");
author("Asier <asyer@email.com>");
license("gpl"); # or "perl", etc
requires("Text::Emoticon::MSN" => "0.01");

# one of either:

bundle("Text::Emoticon::MSN" => "0.01");


&WriteAll;
##############end###############

My os, is red hat 9, and make version is
GNU Make version 3.79.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.
Built for i386-redhat-linux-gnu

Thanks in advance.

Try renaming your Makefile.pl to Makefile.PL. I suppose this
convention is actually a strictly enforced requirement...

Thank you very much. Now it works perfectly.
