bug 5123 -- moving those files back to 'rules' in the distro tarball -- would
fix this, I think.
Comment 3 Justin Mason 2006-10-25 09:20:09 UTC 
most are now installed; but rules/72_active.cf is not.  Still, this is still a
topic of discussion at bug 5123...
Comment 4 Justin Mason 2006-10-27 06:54:06 UTC 
aha, I have a workaround now.  neatly, it also works around the annoying "files
are missing... please inform the author" warning, too.:

: jm 120...; svn commit -m "bug 4681: work around race condition between
Makefile.PL and the generated file rules/72_active.cf; create the file at
Makefile.PL time, so that it will be installed and to silence a silly warning"
Makefile.PL
Sending        Makefile.PL
