Thanks. I see that makepl_arg is already set to `[INSTALLDIRS=site]`. I don't understand why I can issue `cpan -i` fine now, but the makefile can't do the same me thing for me.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

You need to make sure that the Makefile.PL doesn't just call Module::Build. You can put a `die "MB";` at the start of Module/Build.pm to be sure it's not a Module::Build SNAFU.	[reply] [d/l]

There used to be one way to build Perl modules (ExtUtils::MakeMaker), and it worked. Now there are two, the new one isn't that much better than the old one, and everyone has to be made painfully aware of its existence (e.g. the refusal to support PREFIX). Also, check it out on CPAN ratings or RT.	[reply]
