This issue makes it impossible to package the current version of Wx 
(0.96), as it includes a "build" directory, as per the output below.

[output starts after "perl Makefile.PL" has been executed in that 
directory.]

This should be simple enough to fix that I can send a patch, if you'd 
like and if it'd get fixed even faster.

C:\Wx-0.96>perl -MPAR::Dist -eblib_to_par
Can't open perl script "Build": Permission denied
