My problem : I am trying to install a CPAN module, from CPAN, into a "custom" location rather than the system perl locations. This is a hpux system where I have no root access, and in this case the specific module is XML::SAX.
I don't know how to fix your exact problem (may be a bug in ExtUtils::MakeMaker, CPAN, etc), but you could give cpanm a try: http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?App::cpanminus It has made my life significantly easier. There is also local::lib (http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?local::lib) which others are quite fond of, but I don't have any personal experience with it. Adam
