Subject: Bug? EU::MM fails if PERL_SRC && not PERL_CORE

At work, we've got a build repo for making a single debian package of
perl and all the modules we use. Our current organization is:
perl-whitepages-5.10.0/*perl*
perl-whitepages-5.10.0/Configure ...
perl-whitepages-5.10.0/whitepages-modules/*modules*
perl-whitepages-5.0.0.0/whitepages-modules/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.50/
and the Debian build rules currently install perl, then build the
modules. I've found I can build anything else except EU::MM itself
which fails because some tests assume that if PERL_CORE is false,
PERL_SRC must also be false. I can just reorganize my build and move
on but I'm wondering if this is a bug in EU::MM. The documentation and
notes say that PERL_SRC is intuited so that things in ext/ work. I'm
not messing with ext/, I have an entirely different directory which
happened to be inside the perl source tree. It seems like the
ext/-seeking logic doesn't have to be effective here. Should it?
I've included the "failing" tests. EU::MM makes t/Big-Dummy so the
PERL_SRC path of ../../../.. is correct when the test runs because cwd
is perl-whitepages-5.10.0/whitepages-modules/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.50/t/Big-Dummy.
The tests worked right but thought to expect undef because PERL_CORE
was false.
t/INST.t
1..26
...
not ok 9 - PERL_SRC
# Failed test 'PERL_SRC'
# in t/INST.t at line 84.
# got: '../../../..'
# expected: undef
...
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 26.
t/INST_PREFIX.t
1..52
...
not ok 18 - PERL_SRC
# Failed test 'PERL_SRC'
# in t/INST_PREFIX.t at line 113.
# got: '../../../..'
# expected: undef
BTW, having recently been tipped off to cpan2dist +
CPANPLUS::Dist::Deb, I'm going to try switching to that. This memo is
just about resolving the potential bug-or-not.
Thanks,
Josh
