Sorry, PREFIX is not supported. See the Module::Build
documentation for 'destdir' or 'install_base' instead.
Running make test

Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test

If a dist contains both a Makefile.PL and a Build.PL, I think CPAN.pm
tries to run the Makefile.PL by default, so it would invoke MakeMaker
with the 'makepl_arg'. You might try setting 'prefer_installer => "MB"'.
This should arguably be the default since if there is a Build.PL, then
the Makefile.PL is most likely a pass-through script rather than a
native MakeMaker script... but not always. Either way it is never wrong
to prefer Build.PL, but can be problematic to prefer Makefile.PL.
(Also, M::B in CVS has support for PREFIX, thanks to Schwern's efforts.)
Meaning all I'd need it makepl_arg with PREFIX?
Right, you can install the latest developer release if you prefer to use
PREFIX:
