Perl ExtUtils::MakeMaker, how to install an external config (static config for project)?

I writing distribution package of my perl-program and I need to 'make install' command copy file e.g. conf/my.conf to /usr/local/etc/my.conf. Which parameter should I use in WriteMakefile?

Thanks!

I've found not pretty, but useful solution:

sub MY::postamble {
    return qq{
install :: conf/my.conf
\tcp conf/my.conf /usr/local/etc/my.conf
};

This is a simple add-on to Makefile to run the command when 'make install' running. In real life it's looks bit more difficult, but... =)

If there are any pretty idea, please welcome!

It doesn't exit :) (is on the old TODO)

use File::ShareDir::Install/File::UserConfig

or try your luck with Module::Build::SysPath
