Bug #70420 for DB_File: DB_File installs to wrong place for CPAN version

Subject:

DB_File installs to wrong place for CPAN version

DB_File installs to the wrong location after perl 5.11. This is because the default location for all modules after perl 5.11 is supposed to be site not perl. This change was made along with a re- structuring of the default INC path to make site come first. I can provide a link for you to the mailing list and/or perldelta that documents this if needed. Attached is a patch to resolve this issue and allow customization of the install location via Makefile.PL command line

This is still a valid issue. There's a ticket at rt.perl.org concerning the 'perl' to 'site' switch for dual-life modules. https://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=116479
