Hi Chris - thanks for writing.  It seemed that latexindent wanted to
find defaultSettings.yaml in the same directory as the executable.  Is
that right?  We need to keep data files out of the bindirs.

Looking at the documentation for the FindBin module you are using, it
seems this should be easy to deal with -- use RealBin instead of Bin, so
that symlinks are expanded.  Then I can install it in the usual way,
which is like this:

bin/i386-linux/latexindent ->
  ../../texmf-dist/scripts/latexindent/latexindex.pl

texmf-dist/scripts/latexindent:
  latexindent.pl
  defaultSettings.yaml
  ... whatever else ...
  
Can you make that work?

Thanks,
Karl
