I've noticed an oddity and I'm not sure who would be the correct people to report this to.
I'm testing with ActiveState Perl 5.6.1.638 at the moment, so this "may" not be a problem in the latest 5.8 release. That said: Core modules included with ActiveState distributions go in lib/ of the Perl install directory, so to do the modules installed via CPAN. However, PPM installs modules in site/lib/. The ordering of directories in @INC is such that lib/ is before site/lib/. Therefore, trying to update modules that come shipped with ActiveState perl using PPM is fruitless. They must be installed either via CPAN, which I am trying to do for MakeMaker, but am experiencing difficulties (see other posts). Or, to install from the source. Is there any way you can Makemaker can be forced to install into lib/ rather than site/lib/ when installing via PPM? Thanks Nathan
