Oh goodie, another special case for prefixificaiton. MakeMaker does not prefix relative directories. The reasoning is lost, there's just this:
----------------------------------------------- commit 2011f6497b6a2f94ae670bb3208d7bff80dbad33 Author: Michael G Schwern <schw...@pobox.com> Date: Tue Nov 4 00:13:05 2003 +0000 - Fixing minor bug in VMS prefixification logic when PREFIX was not set by the user. - Fixing potential bug in prefixification for relative directories Basically, we check $self->{ARGS}{PREFIX} first to see if prefixification is necessary. We also don't bother to prefixify relative directories. git-svn-id: http://svn.schwern.org/repos/CPAN/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/tr...@1812 8151f2b9-fde8-0310-94fd-f048d12aab9e ----------------------------------------------- Encountering a perl with a relative @INC was never considered. In fact, it seems the tests are being run while Perl has an @INC that includes things which are not even valid paths! This doesn't seem like such a hot idea. Anyhow, I don't remember why prefixification didn't apply to relative directories so I'll just remove that. I've committed it and pushed out 6.55_02. -- 7.
