Detail

Few issues I spotted in Build.pm:

  • : is used as separator in TWIKI_LIBS environment variable. It conflicts with drive letter separator.
  • File::Spec->rel2abs on Windows often end up returning path containing both \ and / separator
  • I believe adding $startdir=~ s/\\/\//g; to the _findRelativeTo help with the above issue
  • I replaced dirname with:

   my $dir='/';
   if ($d =~ /^(.*)\/[^\/]*$/)
          {
           $dir=$1;
          }   
        
   #my $dir = `dirname $d`;

When I quit investigating I was left with that output:


D:\Dev\TWiki\twikiplugins\PerforcePlugin\data\TWiki\PerforcePlugin.txt:  (Not a
versioned resource)

Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
        /TWiki/lib/TWiki/Contrib/Build.pm line 318, <DATA> chunk 1 (#1)
    (W uninitialized) An undefined value was used as if it were already
    defined.  It was interpreted as a "" or a 0, but maybe it was a mistake.
    To suppress this warning assign a defined value to your variables.

    To help you figure out what was undefined, perl tells you what operation
    you used the undefined value in.  Note, however, that perl optimizes your
    program and the operation displayed in the warning may not necessarily
    appear literally in your program.  For example, "that $foo" is
    usually optimized into "that " . $foo, and the warning will refer to
    the concatenation (.) operator, even though there is no . in your
    program.

Mind you, you can see some extra debug output I added in there. I'm just totally unsure what's target_installer sub trying to do by looking up for TEMPLATE_installer.pl all over the place.
