David,
Debian's perl's Config.pm is busted. I found this out last week. There
are 2 things you can do:
1) Change the 'installprivlib' to match 'privlibexp' in Config.pm. This
is the correct thing to do. (So sayeth Sarathy)
2) Apply the attached patch to Inline 0.31. (If you don't have access to
change Config.pm, or if you don't trust me on number 1)
There will be a workaround in Inline-0.32.
Cheers, Brian
PS I am working with the Debian maintainer to fix this.
