Subject: Scalar::Util should install to site after 5.12
As of perl 5.12, site_lib comes first in the INC path by default. The p5p recommendation is for all dual life modules to install to site when installed of CPAN. I can dig up the mailing list thread if need be on this. Also if you want a patch for Makefile.PL, I'm happy to oblige.

I attached a patch that sets INSTALLDIRS to 'site' if the perl version is 5.11+. That seems to be the version that most duallife modules check for, so I hope that is the appropriate one. regards, Robert Sedlacek

Looks good. Will include that in next version. -- Paul Evans

..and reverted it again (MM was only cored in 5.14.)

This fix seem to have shipped to CPAN with 1.26 last year. Perhaps the ticket should be closed?
