For anyone using Module::Build (v0.30) to build PPM's for distribution, here's a simple fix (no patching involved) that you can put into your custom build code (add this to your custom builder code in your Build.PL file): 
##BUGBYPASS: [for Module::Build v0.3 and perl v5.10+ $^V version strin
+g change] repairs incorrect version interpretation for perl v5.10+ (s
+till works for 5.8 and earlier, as well)
sub my_varchname {  # Copied from PPMMaker.pm
      my ($self, $config) = @_;
      my $varchname = $config->{archname};
      # Append "-5.8" to architecture name for Perl 5.8 and later
      #if (defined($^V) && ord(substr($^V,1)) >= 8) {
      #$varchname .= sprintf("-%d.%d", ord($^V), ord(substr($^V,1)));
    #}
    ## BUGFIX: send to Module::Build::PPMMaker and PPM
    if (defined($^V)) {
        my @v = split(/\./, sprintf(qq{%vd},$^V));
        if ($v[1] >= 8) {
              $varchname .= '-'.$v[0].'.'.$v[1];
              }
              }
    return $varchname;
}

It bypasses the BUG until it's fixed in Module::Build.
