inc::Module::Install(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation inc::Module::Install(3pm)NAME
inc::Module::Install - Module::Install configuration system
SYNOPSIS
use inc::Module::Install;
DESCRIPTION
This module first checks whether the inc/.author directory exists, and removes the whole inc/ directory if it does, so the module author
always get a fresh inc every time they run Makefile.PL. Next, it unshifts "inc" into @INC, then loads Module::Install from there.
Below is an explanation of the reason for using a loader module:
The original implementation of CPAN::MakeMaker introduces subtle problems for distributions ending with "CPAN" (e.g. CPAN.pm,
WAIT::Format::CPAN), because its placement in ./CPAN/ duplicates the real libraries that will get installed; also, the directory name
./CPAN/ may confuse users.
On the other hand, putting included, for-build-time-only libraries in ./inc/ is a normal practice, and there is little chance that a CPAN
distribution will be called "Something::inc", so it's much safer to use.
Also, it allows for other helper modules like Module::AutoInstall to reside also in inc/, and to make use of them.

I am attempting to install a Perl Expect module via the CPAN . CPAN goes through the process but nothing happens, sample perl scripts can not find the Expect Module.

Hi friends,
I am not sure if perl questions can be raised here. :rolleyes:
But I have a doubt if there is a way to do "#define" in perl, like in C.
Does anyone know if it is feasible (without CPAN modules)?
Thanks,

Hi,
I need to read an excel binary file and write the data to a text file. Is it possible using Spreadsheet-ParseExcel-0.58 ? If not, is there any module available in CPAN to do this?
Thanks,
