During Module::Build installation, it fails to use its own Build.PL if
another is in perl5lib, resulting in test failures.
With Mac OS X I downloaded perl-5.8.8 and did a clean install:
cd ~/Desktop/
tar -xzf perl-5.8.8.tgz
cd perl-5.8.8
sh Configure -Dprefix=/test/perl -Dcc=gcc -des
make
make test
sudo rm -rf /test
sudo mkdir /test
sudo make install
sudo rm -rf ~/.cpan
setenv PATH /test/perl/bin:$PATH
Now I check my perl5lib:
perl -V
Summary of my perl5 (revision 5 version 8 subversion 8) configuration:

I check my PATH:
echo $PATH
/test/perl/bin:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin/:/Users/sb/Programs/:/Users/sb/Programs/hmmer/binaries/:/Users/sb/Work/scripts/:/Volumes/data/Home/ajr/sw/powerpc/phylip-3.6/bin/:/Volumes/data/Home/ajr/sw/powerpc/t_coffee-2.66/bin/:/Volumes/data/Home/ajr/sw/powerpc/bin/:/Volumes/data/Home/ajr/sw/powerpc/emboss-2.10.0/bin/:/usr/X11R6/bin
Nothing in PATH contains a Build.PL script.
The PERL5LIB directory '/Volumes/biodav/core' contains a Build.PL script
that needs /Volumes/biodav/core/Bio/Root/Version.pm for its version number.
Now I try updating cpan (same problem if I just install Module::Build
directly):
sudo cpan
/test/perl/lib/5.8.8/CPAN/Config.pm initialized.
[...]
cpan> install Bundle::CPAN
[...]
There's a new CPAN.pm version (v1.8802) available!
[Current version is v1.7602]
