Apache::mod_perl_guide installation quirk
I'm using CPAN.pm to install Apache::mod_perl_guide and have noticed two things:
I didn't have Pod::HtmlPsPdf installed, but instead of downloading and installing that module automatically, it just said that it wasn't installed and stopped.
After installing Pod::HtmlPsPdf, it installed fine but then I used a
different path than the default and it complained about missing files,
when they were, in fact, present:
Enter the directory to install the html files : [/home/httpd/docs/manual/mod_perl_guide] /usr/local/apache/marcel/htdocs/perldocs/mod_perl/guide
Checking if your kit is complete...

and so on, then it installed fine.
Maybe some problem with relative paths?

A missing PREREQ_PM entry in Makefile.PL -- it's fixed in the CVS version.

I don't know why, but MANIFEST doesn't accept files starting with ./ --
very weird. Anyway it's fixed now.
Thanks!
