Hello Everyone, I am trying to set up a system for installing modules on a system on which I don't have root. I want to configure Module::Build to install to ~/lib/ using this line in the .modulebuildrc file: 
install --install_base /Users/smanzer/

[download]
If I run the build.PL manually in the shell, as follows, it works and installs to that directory: 
perl Build.PL
./Build
./Build test
./Build install

[download]
But if I try using the internal methods to do it, it fails because it tries to install to "/": 
my $build = Module::Build->new(    
                        module_name => $mod_name,
                        license     => 'perl',
                        use_rcfile     => 1,
                   );

$build->create_build_script;
$build->dispatch('build');
$build->dispatch('test', verbose => 1);
$build->dispatch('install');

I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me why dispatch() won't read my configuration file.
