Bug #112003 for Scalar-List-Utils: Sub::Util 1.41 incorrectly installed on perl 5.10.1 (toolchain issue)

Subject:

Sub::Util 1.41 incorrectly installed on perl 5.10.1

$ perl -MList::Util -MSub::Util=subname -E 'say "perl $^V"; say "Sub::Util $Sub::Util::VERSION"; say $INC{"Sub/Util.pm"}; say "List::Util $List::Util::VERSION"; $INC{"List/Util.pm"}; say subname(subname)'
perl v5.10.1
Sub::Util 1.41
/home/dolmen/.plenv/versions/5.10.1/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/x86_64-linux/Sub/Util.pm
List::Util 1.21
Undefined subroutine &Sub::Util::subname called at -e line 1.

@INC:
    /home/dolmen/.plenv/versions/5.10.1/lib/perl5/5.10.1/x86_64-linux
    /home/dolmen/.plenv/versions/5.10.1/lib/perl5/5.10.1
    /home/dolmen/.plenv/versions/5.10.1/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/x86_64-linux
    /home/dolmen/.plenv/versions/5.10.1/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1

Note that the directories for List/Util.pm and Sub/Util.pm are not the same.
And I have 2 different versions of Util.so

$ find /home/dolmen/.plenv/versions/5.10.1/lib/perl5 -name Util.so -o -name Util.pm | grep -E '(List|Sub)/Util' | xargs ls -l

So it appears that when Sub::Util 1.41 is installed, Util.so is not upgraded (or at least not installed in directory that .

Other dependencies relevant to install:
ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.55_02
ExtUtils::Install 1.54

I tried to install Devel::TraceUse to do more disgnostics of versions of modules used by Makefile.PL.
As a result, the following modules were upgraded:
- ExtUtils::CBuilder 0.2602 -> 0.280224
- ExtUtils::ParseXS 2.2002 -> 3.30
- TAP::Harness 3.17 -> 3.36
- Module::Build v0.340201 -> 0.4216

When reinstalling PEVANS/Scalar-List-Utils-1.41.tar.gz, I now have Util.so in the proper place and the issue is fixed.

$ perl -MList::Util -MSub::Util=subname -E 'say "perl $^V"; say "Sub::Util $Sub::Util::VERSION"; say $INC{"Sub/Util.pm"}; say "List::Util $List::Util::VERSION"; $INC{"List/Util.pm"}; say subname(\&subname)'
perl v5.10.1
Sub::Util 1.41
/home/dolmen/.plenv/versions/5.10.1/lib/perl5/5.10.1/x86_64-linux/Sub/Util.pm
List::Util 1.41
Sub::Util::subname

So the issue has been fixed by the install of one of the dependencies listed above.

This issue would occur in the same way with Scalar-List-Util 1.43 as the dependencies (and in particular the build dependencies) have not changed since 1.41.
