I just released ExtUtils::Install 1.44 to CPAN. This is an emergency release which contains a single critical bug fix. http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=28672
In short, 1.41_01 broke "make install" and "./Build install" would always try to uninstall differing versions. This is dangerous if you're installing modules outside the normal system directory. For example.. perl Makefile.PL INSTALL_BASE=/tmp # install a module into temp make make test make install # whoops, it just tried to uninstall the real version! All users of ExtUtils::Install 1.42 and 1.43 are urged to immediately upgrade to 1.44. -- Stabbing you in the face for your own good.
