Subject: Hint to possible problem with outdated local::lib in documentation
I know this is not a bug in Module::Build::Tiny but it would help people to troubleshoot a problem with the installation of Module::Build::Tiny that is otherwise quite obscure. This is a suggestion for an addition to the POD of Module::Build::Tiny. It seems that there is problem installing Module::Build::Tiny under a local::lib environment when using an outdated version of local::lib. The symptom is an error message in the install log containing ERROR: Can't create '/usr/local/man/man3' Do not have write permissions on '/usr/local/man/man3' If this occurs while using local::lib, ensure that local::lib is up to date. In particular, if $ perl -Mlocal::lib shows values for the following environment variables MODULEBUILDRC PERL_MM_OPT PERL5LIB PATH instead of PERL_MB_OPT PERL_MM_OPT PERL5LIB PATH PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT you are using an outdated version of local::lib and need to update before installing Module::Build::Tiny. I think the real problem is with ExtUtils::Install and a conflict between environment variables set by old versions of local::lib but I haven't investigated this properly. In any case, updating local::lib solved the problem for me. Thanks!
