: writemakefile NO '/usr/local/bin/perl Build.PL --installdirs site' returned status 2

This looks like an issue with Module::Build.
Apparently your version of Module::Build cannot handle the --installdirs site arguments.
Perhaps your version of Module::Build is too old or too new.

If you need additional information about that I think you should take it up with the BioPerl folk (or maybe someone else will update this thread with better information).

Sorry - I can't even look properly at Module::Build issues.
Such is my loathing of that module that any attempt to diagnose problems with it just leaves me wanting to throw a brick through the console, and I'm not prepared to waste a perfectly good brick over Module::Build.

If Module::Build gets in the way of allowing a module to install, then I just go without that module.
Thankully, so far, this policy has not meant that I've had to do without a module that I really want.

Cheers,
Rob
