Summary: [patch] fix path to man pages when '--install_path man' is specified 
Category: None
Group: None
Resolution: None


Initial Comment:
If you call Build.PL with --install_path bindoc=/some/different/path, that path will not be where man pages go when you run 'Build install'.  Instead it uses the man page installation directory from the default perl configuration.

'--install_path lib' and '--install_path bin' work as expected.  But the bindoc specification is used in Po4aBuilder.pm's ACTION_install to override Module::Build's normal handling for some man pages.  However, the man pages do not go to the install_path for bindoc specified by the command line --install_path option.


The attached patch attempts to fix the situation by using the 'install_path' set of directories when processing the mandir location.

To repeat the observed problem, try configuring by using something like the following:

 perl Build.PL --destdir=/tmp --install_path lib=/some_nonexistent_temp_dir/lib/perl/site_perl --install_path bin=/some_nonexistent_temp_dir/bin --install_path script=/some_nonexistent_temp_dir/bin --install_path bindoc=/some_nonexistent_temp_dir/man/man1 --install_path libdoc=/some_nonexistent_temp_dir/lib/perl/site_perl/man/man3 --install_path man=/some_nonexistent_temp_dir/lib/perl/site_perl/man

Then install using:

 perl Build --destdir=/tmp

Notice that some of the man pages are not installed under /tmp/some_nonexistent_temp_dir
