[From the Why Am I Not Surprised Dept.]

Writing tests for 'make install', the test does:  

        perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=dummy-install
        make test
        make install

Check ./dummy-install/... directories but no modules.

Turns out that due to some funny chdiring, ExtUtils::Install does not work
with relative directories, it winds up installing into blib/lib.  A problem
from waaaay back before 5.4.0.  Yet most of the PREFIX examples show
something like PREFIX=foo.

*sigh*
