Hi
This bug has been forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/586795
Similar problems can be found in [1,2].

[3] http://lists.scsys.co.uk/pipermail/catalyst/2008-December/020381.html
Would it be possible (if you agree) to document that in the manpage of
local::lib as it sets INSTALL_BASE in PERL_MB_OPT and PERL_MM_OPT (e.g.
in limitations, as it caused for the reporter problems building
git-svn with given Makefile.PL there).
Okay on other side one can already read some information in
documentation of ExtUtils::MakeMaker and Module::Build.
Package: liblocal-lib-perl
Version: 1.006004-1
Severity: minor
Justification: user error (i.e., documentation bug)
I use local::lib to locally install perl modules that have not yet
been packaged for Debian. Normally it works great, but today I ran
into trouble building git:
$ make git-svn
SUBDIR perl
/usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL PREFIX='/home/jrn'
Only one of PREFIX or INSTALL_BASE can be given. Not both.
make[1]: *** [perl.mak] Error 255
make: *** [perl/perl.mak] Error 2
I would have expected the PREFIX to take precedence or the
local::lib(3pm) manual page to give some guidance.
Ideas?
