This issue was entered into the bug system (see
http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=1771), but there's been no
activity on the bug since it was submitted over a month ago, so I'm
trying email.
$Config{installstyle} contains either 'lib' (when $Config{prefix}
contains something like '/opt/perl/') or 'lib/perl5' (when
$Config{prefix} contains something like '/usr/local/'). MM_Unix
should utilize the installstyle for the default libstyle instead of
hardcoding 'lib/perl5'. Patch is attached.
I ran across this problem while installing under my home dir
(/home/jdl/perltest/). After I installed a module that used
MakeMaker, the modules weren't found because the 'perl5' part of the
module's install dir wasn't in @INC. After running the attached
patch & re-installing the module, things work fine.
Thanks! :-)
