The instructions for Debian says to search for a Debian module and if that did not exist use CPAN.

This time, lit2mobi DID work, and DID convert a .LIT file properly, but only if I either had the .LIT file in the same directory with lit2mobi, or specified a full path.

Yes, of course it works that way. Like all other Unix programs. How would it find a file if it was not in the current directory or given by using full path?

Obviously, I'm missing something else. Otherwise, shouldn't this be able to be placed into /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin to make it usable from anywhere?

Yes, place them in /usr/local/bin if you want. Just copy the files (including the MobiPerl directory) there and make sure the file permission is correct.

The Makefile didn't seem to be of any help, since there was no "install" and all the individual rules appeared to be Windows related (e.g file names ending in .EXE and a reference to Win32) even though the package I downloaded was the tar file, NOT the zipped "win" file.

The Makefile is mostly for producing Windows binaries and is includes so other people can provide the binaries.
The instructions assumes some familiarity with a Unix based system.
