| Subject: | Install to 'site' instead of 'perl' when perl version is 5.11+ |
Hello,
Starting with version 5.47 (with the patch in RT#34875 from 2008) the
Makefile.PL sets INSTALLDIRS to 'perl' so CPAN installs aren't shadowed
by the core version.
According to [1] this is no longer necessary with perl 5.11 and
following, which will look into 'site' first.
The attached patch changes the Makefile.PL check from setting
INSTALLDIRS to 'perl' when the perl version is at 5.10 or following, to
only set it when the perl version is also before 5.11.
regards,
Robert Sedlacek
