installing scripts (was:Re: [Bioperl-l] GFF scripts)

[Koen van der Drift]

Hi,

I have been looking a bit more into installing the scripts with the 
release version (1.2.2), not the cvs version.

I copied the relative sections of the MakeFile.PL of the cvs package to 
the 1.2.2 version. The script indeed starts to execute 
get_scripts_to_install, but somehow it doesn't gets past the line

rmtree ($dest_dir) if -e $dest_dir;

Currently I copied the following subroutines: get_scripts_to_install, 
prompt_to_install and install_contents. I also added the line     
EXE_FILES   => \@scripts_to_install, to WriteMakefile. Plus of course 
the part to execute this:

# Let the code begin...

require 5.005;
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker ;

my @scripts_to_install = eval {get_scripts_to_install()};


My knowledge of perl is limited, so I am not sure how to proceed from 
here. Is there a MakeFile.PL that installs the scripts and works with 
1.2.2? Or maybe I forgot to copy some essential lines from the newer 
Makefile.PL?


Any help appreciated,

thanks,


- Koen.
