One of the recent integrations did away with cpan/podlators/scripts/pod2man.PL and cpan/podlators/scripts/pod2text.PL and added pre-built versions in cpan/podlators/bin. Core integration then put copies of the .PL files in utils/ but did not change the location in utils.lst. This makes it dodgy whether they will get built and installed correctly on non-Unix systems and partially undoes the intent of <http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commit/bab7aada2e9c0074c39ee39ffeb3b8e6c550b204>. I think core integration would be easier if we just stuck with .PL files under cpan/podlators/scripts. That way they'll get built correctly for the target platform and there should be less customization to bring a new version into core. Is there any reason to prefer distributing Unix-specific scripts under bin/?Thread Previous | Thread Next
