Re: [MacPerl] MacPerl installation, folders

[Axel Rose <rose@sj.com>]

:> Why is there a "MacPerl Scripts" and a "macscripts" folder?
:> Why is there an "ext" folder with mostly .t files? Is this for
:> testing - then why isn't it named appropriately?

:This is the way programming environment distributions look, as a rule.
:It's not even that MacPerl is based on UNIX Perl, it's just that there is
:a lot of stuff. I sympathize to some degree, and I suppose the argument
:can be made that some rationalization of folder placements
:and names could occur.

Thanks for sympathising :-)
You're right. A lot of stuff. But with Unix Perl my folders look more
clean. /usr/bin/perl, <lib>/perl, <doc>/perl, that's it.
For TeX (really hard to custom install) there is a directory convention
for all distributions.

Can anybody answer my question about the "ext" folder?
