[MacPerl] Installation bug in MacPerl520r4: MacPPC StandardFile missing if Fat Binary

[larryat@cts.com (Larry F. Allen-Tonar)]

ATTN:  (especially) Chris Nandor & Matthias Neeacher,

SUMMARY:  The MacPPC object module StandardFile is not installed if the
Custom Install/Fat Binary + /Shared Libraries options are used.

WORKAROUND:  Use <<Easy Install>>.

DISCUSSION:

I've been getting
  <<loadable module StandardFile not found in @INC>>   (paraphrased)
errors in (previously working) MacPerl scripts which
 <<use Mac::StandardFile>>,
with both Mac Perl 520r4 and Mac Perl 519r4 on a PPC.

I've finally tracked it down to an installation problem:
The ...:MacPerl Ÿ:lib:MacPPC:auto:Mac:StandardFile:StandardFile
object module is *NOT* installed when
Custom Install/Fat Binary & /Shared Libraries
installation options are selected.
((I suspect that it is the Fat Binary option, but I haven't tested that
  hypothesis.))

The module ...:MacPerl Ÿ:lib:MacPPC:auto:Mac:StandardFile:StandardFile
*was* installed when I performed an <<Easy Install> -- and the scripts
didn't report bugs anymore.  :-)  (phew!)
