This is a subtle issue. The .modulebuildrc is checked when the
Module::Build object is created. In your example, when you create the
Build object and then immediately dispatch to it, you never actually
set the "install" action on the command line (i.e. "Build install")
and thus that parameter in the .modulebuildrc doesn't get applied. I
suspect if you made it a wildcard, it would work.
However, if you're doing *everything* programmatically, you can just
add "install_base" directly to your object constructor:

Hope that helps,
