Hello *,
while trying to update libloc in IPFire 2.x, I noticed a possible quirk in the way the
Perl module and man page files are currently installed. The rootfile diff looks as follows:
diff --git a/config/rootfiles/common/libloc b/config/rootfiles/common/libloc
index 7eb94217e..628ac343f 100644

It appears that, despite ./configure called with parameters such as "--disable-man-pages",
libloc always installs a man page, and now places Perl files in the current working directory
rather than something like /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.36.0/...
Does the ./configure call need additional parameters? Is this behaviour intended?
Thanks, and best regards,
Peter Müller
