I'm attempting to move Cwd and List-Utils to their rightful locations to match their CPAN distribution names, i.e. PathTools and Scalar-List-Utils respectively. I have this working on Windows in the single commit on the smoke-me/steveh/dirnames branch: http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commit/cb8c84586a7e77e1b9100e6d88a6a9d18041ae96 There's very little to it: just the obvious, plus two exceptions added to the logic in make_ext.pl and win32/FindExt.pm However, when smoked, this produced a failure in t/porting/FindExt.t on Linux, with some of the *ext* keys in %Config::Config containing the wrong extension names. I believe that some logic in Makefile.SH (around line 196) will need something similar to what is done in win32/FindExt.pm: http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/blob/refs/heads/smoke-me/steveh/dirnames:/Makefile.SH/#l196 (and/or possibly elsewhere too, I'm not sure). It would probably take me numerous iterations of attempting something and examining the smoke results beforfe I got this right, so I would be very grateful if somebody on *nix were able to supply the missing piece of this puzzle for me. These are the only two dual-lived distros living in the 'wrong' folder name in the core, and it would be nice to fix them.Thread Next
