Gut feeling says the leading dot is confusing something but I can't tell
from this if its ExtUtils::Install::install() itself or if its being
called wrong by MakeMaker. Can't tell more without seeing your Makefile
and the output of 'make -n install'.
However, this bug seems to already be fixed. I tried it with the latest
alpha and it installed ok.
