It is also available here: http://aut.dyndns.org/dist/Module-Install-0.19_95.tar.gz Most notably, the Module::Install-Cookbook needs content, as does documentations on the myriad of extensions. Also, the 'inc' directory name (and consequently the inc:: prefix to Module::Install) may still change, because at least one prominient CPAN person expressed disagreement toward that name. I'll write up a case for discussing the name on cpan-people and module-authors when I get some time from this demanding day job. Currently, it may help to read the Makefile.PL and inc/ of PAR-0.66.tar.gz (or only.pm) to understand how Module::Install works. I have one outstanding bug to fix (Admin extensions should be able to call each other's functions via ->admin->method during the 'user run'); that and the docs are the only things that prevents a standard release. Thanks, /Autrijus/
