Subject: ISO documentation on Perl's standard directory structure
Message-Id: <di9q3c$b7m$1@reader1.panix.com>
Where is the standard structure for Perl directories and files
documented? I have seen many variants (e.g. /usr/lib/perl5
or /usr/lib/perl/5.8.6, etc.)
I suppose the answer to this question is OS-dependent. I'm most
interested in Linux (Debian and Suse), Mac OS X, ActiveState, and
Cygwin.
Does ExtUtils::MakeMaker read this information from somewhere (e.g.
Config), or is it hard-coded into it? (I made an attempt to read
the source for MakeMaker, but gave up after a couple of fruitless
hours.)
Thanks!

I figure, what's the use of "open source" if it's not to be
tampered with? (But perhaps in this case it might not be
worth the hastle.)

Yep, that works for me. Causes chomp to eat CRLF instead of just
LF.

Some sort of "newline character selector", I'd guess?
I'll check it out. Thanks.

Thanks for taking the time to provide that example. That about wraps it up
for me ..... wonder how the op is getting on with this :-)
