Subject: Module::Build::Compat generated makefiles do not support DESTDIR
As demonstrated by Test::Distribution module: [guillomovitch@n2 Test-Distribution-1.21]$ perl Makefile.PL ... [guillomovitch@n2 Test-Distribution-1.21]$ make DESTDIR=~/tmp install /usr/bin/perl5.8.6 Build --makefile_env_macros 1 install mkdir /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6: Permission denied at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 126 make: *** [install] Error 255
Thanks for the report, this will be fixed in the upcoming beta release. -Ken
